In the face of homogenization in the globalization process, dangerous answers arise, full of omni-inclusive absolutes and truths. Our Latin American history tends to fade in an eternal return, in a repetitive series of answers that seem to indicate incapacity in teaching the profound impossibility of alleviating suffering with suffering, violence with violence, and unique thought with liberation. This article analyses the Latin American situation from the perspective of one of the most fertile American philosophers, Dr. Arturo Andres Roig. We coincide with him in concluding that it is possible to affirm our identity, based on an assumption of Latin American values. Our dreams have not died, nor the possibilities of imagining a better life. Thinkers such as Arturo Andres Roig guide us down the path to historical understanding of our continent at a moment when a new fundamentalism (postmodernism, neo-liberalism, and globalization) and the process of globalization is intent on blocking our creative possibilities. As Roig says, there is no scientific nor epistemological proof that prohibits the conception of a different future.
