Several decades ago we coined the category of the situated universal. It was not just the universal classic (abstract), nor a "concrete" universal (Hegelian), but rather a situated universality, which accepted the challenge of singularity and was - at the same time - capable of liberating it from particularity, of the accident and of any other condition.
This work proves the validity of that philosophical vocation. Not because it replicates previous positions, but because it creates philosophy, assuming and transforming a new Argentine and Latin American thought with its own style.
Auat had surprised us before with his work Sovereignty and communication and he does it again now with this attempt at situated political philosophy, in which Alberdi's traces are as clear as his dialogue with the most
current political debates. Thus Auat goes from Kusch to Habermas with the same relevance that he confronts Risco Fernández with Arendt ### Or relates the problem of human rights with the struggles of the movements
social and popular in your region.
Auat applies to himself that situation that he claims in others.
Philosopher from Santiago and from the NOA who assumes this situation as a nurturing starting ground and not a ceiling that prevents looking at the stars.
