Pensando la hispanidad. Estrategias para el estudio crítico de la historia del pensamiento filosófico-político hispánico

En este artículo se exponen características generales de la forma como habitualmente se narra la historia del pensamiento filosófico-político de la hispanidad, desentrañando y analizando sus presupuestos conceptuales y metodológicos básicos desde una perspectiva crítica y meta-teórica. A partir de este examen crítico se argumenta cómo las tradiciones de pensamiento filosófico-político de origen judío, musulmán o converso deben ser pensadas como componentes determinantes de la tradición del pensamiento hispánico, indispensables a su vez para definir el concepto mismo de hispanidad o de hispanidades. Con este propósito, se reseña el amplio debate existente en España y en Hispanoamérica desde hace más de un siglo en torno a los criterios que permiten definir la existencia de una filosofía hispánica, debido a que este debate refleja sintomáticamente el problema general de definir la identidad de lo hispánico y su tradición histórica.-----This article presents general features of the usual way of telling the history of the philosophical and political thought on Hispanicity, by deciphering and analyzing its basic conceptual and methodological assumptions from a critical and metacritical approach. This critical examination claims how the political and philosophical thought traditions of Jewish, Muslim, or converse origin should be examined as factors that determined the Hispanic thought tradition, in turn mandatory to define the Hispanicity or Hispanicities concept itself. Keeping this purpose in mind, a review is provided on the debate that has been ongoing in Spain and Hispanic America for more than a century about the criteria that allow defining the existence of a Hispanic philosophy, since such debate reflects symptomatically the overall issue of defining the Hispanic identity and its historical tradition.
