Este artículo explora los aspectos filosóficos del sumak kawsay, entendido como buen vivir, es decir, como una apuesta vital y ancestral que se presenta en el orden civilizatorio andino, haciendo énfasis en su poder crítico frente al modelo hegemónico propio de la sociedad neoliberal. Inicialmente, el término se vincula con su propia significación lingüística, para extraer de ahí su sentido. Luego, se intenta una conceptualización del buen vivir, vinculándolo con su aspecto crítico, y, finalmente, se plantea el buen vivir desde la perspectiva de la filosofía indígena y del debate que se abre ahí en relación con la naturaleza. 2021-01-01 2021-09-24T11:57:35Z 2021-09-24T11:57:35Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/campos/article/view/6925 http://hdl.handle.net/11634/35740 spa https://revistas.usantotomas.edu.co/index.php/campos/article/view/6925/6499 Derechos de autor 2021 Autores/as https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0 application/pdf Universidad Santo Tomás Campos en Ciencias Sociales; Vol. 9 Núm. 1 (2021): Interculturalidad y educación Campos en Ciencias Sociales; Vol. 9 No. 1 (2021): Interculturalidad y educación 2500-6681 2339-3688
