Prophetic Politics & Political Theory in Latin America

The Theology of Liberation in Latin America has received relatively little attention in the relevant literature as a philosophical and political force. In this article the author assesses the nature and impact of that body of thought and explains its origins, its major principles, its Christian roots, and the reasons for its rejection of certain aspects of liberal democratic thought, particularly of its emphasis on individualism at the expense of the community. He provides a deeper understanding of the relationship of Latin American Catholic thought to the main currents of political thought in the West, in particular to Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Marx.
