Thinking from the Underside of History: Enrique Dussels Philosophy of Liberation

---

Here the analectical method is manifest in the testing of psychology against the experiences of those whose lives are distorted by the accumulation process and its correlates. Burton and Kagan set out the key postulates of a "really social psychology" a social-realist psychology that proceeds from the social to the psychological: Social transformation is a co-operative project that cannot be given to people, although the psychologist can be helpful in that project. It is sceptical about a lot of psychological 'expertise' but it doesn't throw it away, instead raiding it as a resource along with others from outside psychology.

It would be surprising if some of this were not already part of the best practice of socially committed psychologists see Teo, We will illustrate this through examples from Colombia and Spain.

Thinking from the Underside of History

While these examples are from the sharp end of globalization, the same approach has been taken by psychologists active in diverse fields where the constructive engagement with the other is critical to the production of knowledge. In Molina and Estrada's words, "One of the characteristics of this line of research is the concern for the flow of relations between the intra-familiar violence and the armed conflict in Colombia. From this analysis one can recognize topics that allude directly to the examination of control of subjectivity in the political context of the country, mediated by violence.

Critical Psychology that approaches participation for coexistence aims to build specific social relations effective enough to change reality" Molina and Estrada, They go on, to argue that "From an ethical-political viewpoint, investigation in Social Critical Psychology in Colombia is called [ on] to contribute in a determinative way to: Molina and Estrada, To cite another example, Paloma, et al explore the construction of self and citizenship through collective action by Moroccan immigrants in Andalusia.

They note, that "we encourage researchers not to concentrate their efforts on obtaining findings or designing frameworks in the name of others; but they should force themselves to collaborate with the others in the development of those resources necessary to pursue the goals of the community.

This implies that individual members gain understanding, voice and influence over decisions that affect their lives. In both these cases an analectical approach is taken, where the oppressed other constructs, with the specialist, a liberatory praxis comprising both understanding - the construction of psychological understanding and action -to transform lived reality.

The work of Kagan and collaborators on "living poverty" and the experience of community activists are further examples of an analectical approach in psychology Edge, Stewart and Kagan, ; Raschini, Stewart and Kagan, Scannone notes that initially the philosophy of liberation drew upon the economic and political sciences in considering the concrete problem of domination and exteriority. Subsequently, it also used the resources of the more hermeneutic human sciences, encountering the culture, the history and the wisdom and knowledge of the people.

Scannone sees these sciences as occupying an intermediate position between philosophy and the more analytic disciplines of economics and sociology. But what about really social, liberatory, analectical, transmodern psychology? It seems to sit all the way along that dimension from the purely philosophical via the cultural-historical to the socio-analytic. If so can it reach a better accommodation between its two wings, the idiographic and the nomothetic, the emic and the etic, the subjective and the objective? And can the analectic imperative of trans-modernity provide a coherence that unites these approaches in a common cause of liberation?

In so doing it does not deny all of the modernist, critical modernist and postmodern psychologies, but stands placed to critically assimilate them with an integrated set of methodologies scientific, dialectical and analectical.
