ABSTRACT
This chapter focuses on the phenomenological production of Latin American philosophers during the past and current centuries. Research and translations by Guillermo Hoyos have played an important role in that country as well as in the Latin American phenomenological movement in general throughout the second half of the twentieth century and the early 2000s. Most of the twentieth-century contributions to phenomenology in Latin America are found in countless articles scattered in different journals, book series, or collections. The younger and proactive generations of brilliant scholars count upon powerful online tools that allow them to communicate and exchange their work not only within Latin America, but worldwide. Phenomenology offers an important outlook within the current traditions of philosophical research worldwide. It relies on human experiences as endowed with sense and validity, and thus it enhances the relevance of human studies within lower and higher education, the survival of which is currently being questioned all over the world.
