CUEVA PERUS, Marcos. A Problem of Latin American Social Sciences: About Supposed and Real Origins. Rev. Rup. [online]. 2018, vol.8, n.2, pp.1-32. ISSN 2215-2989.  http://dx.doi.org/10.22458/rr.v8i2.2111.

This paper seeks to demonstrate the weight of Husserl's phenomenology and of a specific epistemological position that is not explicit in the current work of the Latin American social sciences. In some of its currents, this task starts from erroneous positions on the Latin American colonial historical heritage and does not allow capturing the singularity of the region, which passes through the heritage of religion and not that of Cartesianism. Given that this phenomenology privileges the experience, situated between empiricism and formalism, it lends itself, together with the absence of praxis in "knowledge", for a form of commodification of science in a world in which the "market" also calls to consume experiences.

Keywords : Phenomenology; Husserl; experience; Latin America; ideas.
