Specific features of the understanding of revolution in the political philosophy of José Carlos Mariátegui

The study focuses on the elaboration of the concept of revolution in the work of the Latin American philosopher J.C. Mariátegui, examining the specific features of its interpretation.It notes three basic dimensions of the problem of revolution in Mariátegui's treatment: an epistemological feature embodied in the application of Marxist methodology to the conditions of Latin American realities, a cultural feature defined through concern for the emancipation of indigenous peoples, and an anthropological feature that places the human being at the centre of attention as both subject and object of social change.The significance of Mariátegui's treatment of the problem of revolution is a source of inspiration for later social action, and through his understanding it is possible to capture the events of current social processes in the region.
