Legal Philosophy in Latin America

This article attempts to organize and synthesize some representative Latin American countries' contemporary legal-philosophical thought (Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela). I attempt to do so in such a way as to portray the complexity and variety of authors and schools of thought involved, all the while accounting for regional particularities. The thematic agenda covers issues ranging from theory of law and legal argumentative theories to problems of justice proper: social rights, multiculturalism, poverty, inequality, transparency and accountability, among others.
