Filosofía de (para) la Conquista: Eurocentrismo y colonialismo en la disputa por el Nuevo MundoDOI: 10.4067/S0718-04622011000100009 Keywords: conquest, latin america, eurocentrism, colonialism. Abstract: this paper aims to demonstrate that the discussion "about" the conquest of america -known as the philosophy of the conquest- as well as the reflections of the most famous thinkers who participated in the debate -juan ginés de sepúlveda, francisco de vitoria and bartolomé de las casas- can be characterized as being eurocentric and colonialist. this is the reason why it would be preferable to speak of a philosophy "for" the conquest instead of a philosophy "of" or "about" the conquest.
