ABSTRACT

The purpose of this article is to present the main contributions to peace, democracy, and the philosophy of education in Colombia, made by philosopher Guillermo Hoyos-Vásquez (Medellín, 1935 – Bogotá, 2013). The work of this Colombian philosopher stands out for its important contributions to political philosophy as the vital, supportive, and responsible exercise of thought concerning the public interest. Using Kant’s concept of practical reason, Husserl’s lifeworld [Lebenswelt], and Habermas’s communicative action as starting points, Hoyos-Vásquez succeeded in going beyond these political philosophers by trying to apply their ideas in the midst of the difficult context of corruption, drug trafficking and armed conflict in Colombia over the past five decades. At the same time, Hoyos-Vásquez developed throughout his life a varied public activity as a thinker and educator, belying the myth of the theoretical distance between the philosopher and his/her political present or historical reality. The thought of Guillermo Hoyos-Vásquez, and his public action as an educator, represent a substantial contribution to contemporary political and educational philosophy, maintaining a close connection between theory and practice.

摘要

本文的目的是介绍哲学家 Guillermo Hoyos-Vásquez（麦德林，1935 年 - 波哥大，2013 年）对哥伦比亚和平、民主和教育哲学的主要贡献。这位哥伦比亚哲学家的作品因其对政治哲学的重要贡献而引人注目，因为它是关于公共利益的重要、支持和负责任的思想实践。以康德的实践理性概念、胡塞尔的生活世界 [Lebenswelt] 和哈贝马斯的交往行为为出发点，霍约斯-巴斯克斯成功地超越了这些政治哲学家，试图在腐败、贩毒和过去五年哥伦比亚的武装冲突。同时，Hoyos-Vásquez 作为思想家和教育家，在他的一生中发展了各种公共活动，这与哲学家与他/她的政治现状或历史现实之间的理论距离的神话相悖。吉列尔莫·霍约斯-巴斯克斯的思想和他作为教育家的公开行动，代表了对当代政治和教育哲学的重大贡献，保持了理论与实践之间的密切联系。
