Modernity(ies) and its Excluding Reason

A philosophical-historical review of the various faces of Modernity reflects the first experience of the European ego with foreigners under patterns of domination and violence. European ontology does not come from nothing: the 'I conquer' precedes historically and foundationally the Cartesian 'I think'. Going beyond the exclusive reason, nourished by myths that still maintain Europe, demands the abandonment of the Eurocentric discourse and its rationality, whose univocal logos remains standing despite the multiple suspicions it raises. From the transforming wickers of Levinas and Vattimo, two of the philosophers with more awareness of otherness, this essay does not try to deny Reason, but invites to go beyond it, where not necessarily wait non-reason neither irrationality. So that the hope of the victims is not definitively frustrated.
