MOROCHO AJILA[1], Segundo. Sumak Kawsay: political strategy or philosophy of life?. Universitas [online]. 2017, n.26, pp.179-198. ISSN 1390-8634.  https://doi.org/10.17163/uni.n26.2017.07.

This article aims to analyze the critical discursive construction of the Sumak Kawsay, the same one that has been ruled as a political and philosophical proposal of the Andean vision in Ecuador. Firstly, the political actors of the 1980s and 1990s will be studied, and then contrasted with the precepts of the policies undertaken by the current regime. As for the philosophical position that emerges from Sumak Kawsay, it will be analyzed under Western thought, with perceptible advantages over Eurocentric philosophy. Finally, we will study the relationship between current Ecuadorian political praxis and Andean culture.

Palavras-chave : Sumak Kawsay; philosophy; Andean worldview; Western vision.
