La idea de la filosofía en Patočka, o la otra carga de la fenomenología.

Even though Patočka never acheived a critique of the political limits of Husserl's and Heidegger's philosophies, he did clearly set the limits of those philosophies, limits after which the phenomenological philosophy of Patocka adopts a new dimension. En this paper we argue that vis-a-vis Husserl's and Heidegger's limitations, it is indeed possible to find in Patoĉka solid elements upon which to achieve a political and social philosophy in the strongest sense of the word -- and therefore, also an ethic-, that can contribute significantly to Latin America thought in a phenomenological sense, as well as the ongoing development of the contemporary world. Patočka's idea of philosophy represents a meaningful advance in phenomenological philosophy, and allows us to distance ourselves from idealism --whether transcendental or ontological--.
