On Friday, October 11th Dr. Enrique Dussel a Mexican academic, philosopher, historian and theologian born in Argentina, gave a lecture at Boston University’s School of Theology "A Critic of Modernity, Decolonization, Transmodernity, and the Current State of Affair in Mexico" in collaboration with the BU Center for Latin American Studies. Dr. Dussel is primarily concerned with history, particularly in the construction of Latin American history, with a sense of participation in the historical process towards liberation. His research goes back to human origins and includes topics ranging from Aztec and Inca belief systems and worldviews to the origins of Christianity, the Byzantine Empire and the role of the church in the Spanish conquest.
