Summary/Abstract: The aim of the text is to present the main ideas of Raul Fornet-Betancourt’s intercultural philosophy in the context of contemporary Latin American philosophy related to liberation projects, so that the specificity of the concept can be grasped. The starting point is the definition of intercultural philosophy in general: as embedded in individual cultural experience, but also in social structures. For Fornet-Betancourt, these will be three basic dimensions that any philosophical reflection must take into account: concrete, bodily, living “I”, interacting with its environment; culture as a space of symbolic interactions; and social structure understood as a field of power relations. The ethical (liberation) and dialogic dimensions of intercultural philosophy emerge against this background.
