description The Mexican philosopher Bolivar Echeverría highlights four approaches within the ethos of capitalist modernity. The first approach is the realist, which is currently dominant, and is commonly associated with clarity. The second is the baroque, which is known for its contradictions and ambiguity. According to Hegel’s theory of recognition (Honneth / Habermas), rational coexistence between cultures is only possible within the realistic approach. This theory parts from the assumption that bourgeois society is doubtfully capable of recognition (it reads racism as something accidental and not structural). The baroque ethos, which is illustrated in Latin America, implies the possibility of living with others without recognizing them in Hegelian terms, thus opening up avenues for cultural mestizaje. The lack of clarity of this ethos is the foundation for a certain kind of intercultural coexistence that thrives in spite of its structural impossibility.

El filósofo mexicano Bolívar Echeverría distingue cuatro ethe de la modernidad capitalista, entre ellos: el realista, hoy dominante, es el de la claridad; el barroco, es el de contradicciones, de doblesentidos. Según la teoría hegeliana del reconocimiento (Honneth/Habermas), la convivencia racional entre culturas sólo es posible dentro del ethos realista. Se parte del a priori dudoso de la posibilidad del reconocimiento dentro de la sociedad burguesa (entendiendo al racismo como algo accidental y no estructural). El ethos barroco, que existe en América Latina, implica la posibilidad de convivir con el otro sin reconocerlo en términos hegelianos, abriendo vías al mestizaje cultural. La falta de claridad de este ethos es la base de cierta convivencia intercultural bajo su actual imposibilidad estructural.
