Resumen
This article states that the liberation philosophy, which started during the seventies and was current
in Latin America in the last century until the middle nineties arose from the 1968 theoretical questioning
of the Peruvian philosopher Augusto Salazar Bondy. Starting from the theory of dependence
and from the history of ideas, Salazar pointed out the lack of identity, originality and authenticity in
the region’s philosophy. He was, however, philosophically dependent on conscience as the subject of
the philosophical and epistemological process. Thus, the validity of Salazar’s questioning reflected
the mirror quality of conscience. Liberation philosophy became exhausted by the crisis of conscience.
