Abstract

The article reviews the evolution of Gamaliel Churata’s ontological meditations through specific fragments. With an analysis of the inorganic relationships between mind and matter, it tries to offer clues to the epistemic journey that the Andean writer went throughout his work. In the middle of the 20th century, in La Paz, Bolivia, there was a debate about the latest in Western philosophy. The books of Martin Heidegger and Nicolai Hartman were being translated into Spanish. Few local authors managed to assimilate and at the same time get rid of the ideas of European philosophers to build their own ontology proposal, without discarding those principles, but expanding/modifying their scope from the Andean roots. This is a note on the development of the poetics of Gamaliel Churata between the decades of the forties and sixties about the
mentioned subject.
