If the question of the humanity of “the other” may become a question, and not be reinscribed into Western colonizing patterns of thought, then its issuing must concern a limit (always arising beyond Western thought), a delimitation of existence that is risked and put at risk without recourse to the project or operation of that colonizing thought that situates it. Ideas of subjectivity, agency, and power-knowledge potential for progress, as well as rationalist instrumental thought used to recognize those peoples and cultures excluded and oppressed under the Western Modern tradition, must be put into question by the very agents claiming recognition, as well as the epistemic structures that sustain these concepts and the dispositions and subconscious expectations constituted by the colonizing practices of bodies and imaginaries that project the very horizons of one’s existence.

Leopoldoldo Zea, “Negritud e Indigenismo,” La Filosofia como Compromiso de Liberacion (Venezuela: Biblioteca Ayacucho, 1991), 304–5. “En uno y otro caso se trata de mostrar lo humano en el mestizo y el negro.” (305). Zea’s idea of mestizaje is central to his development of a Latin American philosophy. Zea’s sense of mestizaje springs from the existential phenome-nology and historicism of his teacher José Gaos, the Spanish philosopher and student of José Ortega y Gasset, and from the psychologism and human identity of the Mexican philosopher Samuel Ramos.
Roberto Fernández Retamar, Caliban (San Juan, PR: Ediciones Callejon, 2003), 23 and 62, respectively. In “Our America,” Martí writes: “There can be no racial animosity, because there are no races. The theorists and feeble thinkers string together and warm to race in books, which the well-disposed observer and the fair-minded traveler vainly seek in the justice of Nature, where man’s universal identity springs forth from triumphant love and the turbulent hunger for life. The soul, equal and eternal, emanates from bodies of various shapes and colors. Whoever foments and spreads antagonism and hate between the races, sins against humanity” (José Martí, Latin American Philosophy for the 21st Century: The Human Condition, Values, and the Search for Identity, ed. Jorge J. E. Gracia and Elizabeth Millan-Zaibert [New York: Prometheus Books, 2004], 251–52).
