The unbearable politicity of the Being. On the political and philosophical traditions in the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Buenos Aires (1918-1955)

Abstract

The aim of this article is to show that, at least from a historical point of view and during the period addressed, different philosophical traditions within the University of Buenos Aires had their own political inscriptions. Thus, these study areas were established in the Faculty through important theoretical and political discussions. The article highlights moments of conflict and also determines four theoretical-political traditions to be considered: one neo-tomist and nationalist, one phenomenological and liberal, one metaphysical and corporative, and a fourth scientific and filo-communist.
