Juan Carlos Moreno Romo invites the reader to reconsider where authentic knowledge is generated, suggesting that the gaze of the outskirts—which moves between both spaces—offers a more complete understanding than that of the center, which is often self-absorbed. An essay that challenges the narcissistic constructions of power and advocates for a genuine recognition of the other as an equal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book starts from a paradox: if both the center and the periphery think in a similar way, then the center can be better understood from the outskirts. The latter, by moving between both worlds, knows both the core and the margin, whereas the center, increasingly provincial, only contemplates its own constructions. The work argues that the center only reaches its true centrality when it assumes its peripheral condition, and the periphery realizes itself by recognizing itself as a legitimate center. Moreno Romo invites us to overcome complexes of superiority or inferiority, proposing an authentic encounter between gazes that recognize each other as equals, instead of seeing each other as rigid and impenetrable mirrors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCritique of the cultural and epistemological narcissism of power centers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eReclamation of the periphery as a space that generates valid and authentic knowledge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eOvercoming complexes (of superiority and inferiority) in the relationships between center and margin.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePhilosophy of recognition: the need to see the other as an equal and not as a mirror of our own shortcomings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe mobility of the outskirts as a cognitive advantage against the rigidity of the center.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in contemporary philosophy, cultural criticism, and critical thinking.

Its proposal to invert the gaze—from the center to the margin and vice versa—is stimulating for any critical reader. The work stands out for its ability to connect classical philosophical problems with contemporary issues of identity, power, and recognition. A recommended read for those looking to move beyond conventional discourses and explore new ways of thinking about the relationship with the other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ANTHROPOS EDITORIAL","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53409995063643,"sku":"9788415260769","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1018\/0650\/6331\/files\/978841526076.jpg?v=1781899685","url":"https:\/\/kalamobooks.com\/en\/products\/9788415260769","provider":"Kalamo Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
