Search and forge a Latin American identity from within the classroom is an attempt to analyze the necessity of thinking Philosophy and Reality from the socio-political-historical-context state that makes a person being a Latin American one. We find on our native land, the irruption of subversive, questioning and critical thinking. However, the problem of the possibility or impossibility of an original thinking, its consequent history and the subject of philosophizing, are elements being still on debate in the internal of this new way of approaching reality. Some elements of this debate are exposed, such as the question around the subject who philosophizes and educates, on the formulation of a new thought or a new philosophy. In the following article, the construction of American Latin history as hegemonic discourse of the dominant ideological eurocentric court sectors will be problematized, and conversely, the emergence of a construction of rooted history in our land, through an awareness of our own historical process. Thence, it will arise uncertain the possibility or not of allowing this new thinking to burst inside the classroom, for the purposes of raising new looks and generating an educational praxis consequent with the idea of philosophy of liberation. Ad hoc, the gestation of the philosophy of liberation and its main elements will be summarized, deepening later the particularity thinking from a new plural subject referred to the town, as original category. Ultimately, some reflections from within the classroom are to be presented in order to encourage further thought about this issue and to leave latent the desire of rethinking education, philosophy and its teaching.
