Thoughts of the Ancestral People of the Space Environment of the Center Point of the Earth Kitu

Abstract

Studying the elements that characterize the forms of thought of the cultures of the center of the Kitu land constitutes a historical debt, especially of the academics of the indigenous peoples, emerged within the territory of the so-called Kingdom of Quito; Therefore, in this article, through bibliographic research, a brief analysis of the works related to indigenous thought is carried out, within which “Andean Philosophy: Indigenous Wisdom for a New World” is one of the most outstanding works”, as a great exercise in separating Andean philosophy from the influence of the Eurocentric and colonial philosophical perspective; However, by assigning the Andean category to his investigative work, a case study type, focused on the communities near Cusco, his critics highlight the predominance of a monocultural and homogenizing perspective for all cultures and countries located throughout the surroundings of the Andes Mountains, in addition to the explanation of what he calls principles of Andean logic, results in the Cartesian binary logic of opposite pairs, which contradicts the triune ordering logic of the indigenous people.
