Abstract

Based on an assessment of the political and epistemic potential of the contributions of Christianity of Liberation and of Theology and Philosophy of Liberation, in this paper I look at some of its key concepts that can currently be used in Latin American for the dialogue among the popular movements and for the debate of the Social Sciences that commit themselves to them. These concepts are those of Poor, People and Praxis and Popular Wisdom. I also propose three dialogues within the great multiplicity of possibilities: with the Mariátegui Indo-American Socialism; with Revolutionary Peronism; and with the proposals of Pope Francis. I conclude by highlighting some of the key issues for these dialogues contained in the profound relevance of these issues of liberation.
