El presente texto corresponde a la Lectio Inauguralis del primer semestre académico de 1988 en nuestra Facultad. Su objetivo es mostrar, desde supuestos teóricos conscientemente asumidos y mediante realizaciones concretas, unas líneas de investigación que pueden hacer inteligible el proceso seguido en Latinoamérica por la filosofía de inspiración explícitamente cristiana. Se busca, ante todo, sacar a la luz lo que está teórica y vitalmente en juego en cada uno de los momentos más significativos de ese proceso. Se destacan también, a modo de ejemplos ilustrativos, algunas figuras filosóficas. Tras unas breves reflexiones que intentan precisar el significado de los términos "Filosofía Cristiana en Latinoamérica", se expone el desarrollo de esta filosofía desde el S. XVIII hasta el momento presente. El texto conserva su forma original, sin citas y sin subtítulos. Solo se ha añadido una bibliografía sumaria. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This text corresponds to Lectio Inauguralis of our Faculty in the first academic semester of 1988. Its aim is to show, from theoretical consciously assumed suppositions and through concrete achievements, some lines of research that can make intelligible the process followed in Latin America by the philosophy of explicitly Christian inspiration. It seeks, first of all, to bring to light what is theoretical and vitally at stake in each of the most significant moments of this process. Some philosophical figures are also highlighted as illustrative examples. After some brief reflections that try to define the meaning of the terms "Christian Philosophy in Latin America", the development of this philosophy is exposed from the 18th century up to the present time. The text preserves its original form, with no references and subtitles. Only a summary bibliography has been added. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
