Interculturalidad as Horizon and Praxis

This article emerges from a collective quest to propose social interactions
that, instead of self-destroying us, generate ways of being and relating that
humanize us. The starting point of this quest is our experience of sociohistorical
processes that destroy, instrumentalize, expel, and discriminate
human groups. The end point is a proposal to transform how we relate to
each other. In this meditation I invoke Latin American ethical traditions, their
evocations of buen vivir (good living), and proposals of new ways of relating
that do not harm or exclude the other (male and female), but rather care for,
reconcile, harmonize, and make possible a full life for everyone. Here we are
posing interculturalidad as a horizon and as a task.
