Abstract

In the thought of the Mexican philosopher Luis Villoro, the issue of the Other appears closely related to the indigenous alterity; that is, to the being “another sub­ject” and a “different subject” of the Mexican indigenous people, to his being equal to us and, nonetheless, different, distinct, in function of his own historical-cultural perspective. We frame this exposition in the general philosophy of Villoro and in the theoretical-philosophical as well as the practical and ethical-political problems of the contemporary world.
