Mexico City, November 14 (RHC)-- Argentinian-Mexican philosopher and theologian Enrique Dussel has passed away at the age of 88. 

Dussel’s work in decolonizing philosophy and formulating a Latin American liberation theology has grown increasingly influential in recent years. 

Dussel challenged Eurocentrism’s influence, writing: “Modernity elaborated a myth of its own goodness, rationalized its violence as civilizing, and finally declared itself innocent of the assassination of the Other.”
