Abstract

In this extremely short work, the exposition will be organized according to the most significant currents of Latin American Philosophy in the 20^th century. I will analyse the central problems and main philosophers of each current, knowing that I will have to leave out many names. At the end of the work, we submit a minimal and indicative general bibliography, according to countries — even though we did not treat the theme from a national perspective — and of philosophical currents. The chronology can be useful for the reader who is a beginner to the theme.
