Good Living and Indoamerican Socialism: An Epistemic-Political Search

Abstract

I present here the indigenous approach to Good Living and its relationship with IndoAmerican Socialism -in the line of Mariátegui- in search of a horizon for overcoming capitalism and its budgets, working on the double political and epistemic dimension of these proposals. I analyze the indigenous expressions of Good Living and their common elements; the dilemma of its relation to development; the relationship with other Latin American approaches in this line, specifically with Mariátegui’s proposal, and the value of the epistemic approach for its originality and revolutionary potential. I intend to contribute to the reflection on the relationship between the Latin American proposals that propose a way to overcome capitalism in our region. I work with material from interviews carried out with the Ecuadorian indigenous movements in dialogue with bibliographic material.
