María de Jorge Isaacs

If you want a nice breed of Colombian philosophy you could look at 'Grupo de Bogotá' (if you want decolonial phil, and for recent developments on it you could look at figures like Santiago Castro-Gómez) or you could look at Danilo Cruz Velez and his amazing book on the relation of Husserl and Heidegger 'Filosofia Sin Supuestos. De Husserl a Heidegger'. If you'd like a small english introduction to contemporary philosophy in Colombia you could also look at this https://core.ac.uk/reader/270148470

WAAAAAH WEE DUN GOT OUR OWN COUNTRY SO WE NEED TO HAVE

MUH NATIONAL DAY

MUH GENERIC FLAG

MUH POST HOC HISTORY GLORIFYING LITERAL NOBODY EVENTS

All countries are not equal. You do not deserve a national day. There are literally hundreds of countries and only a few are deserving of any commemoration and recognition for their historical days. Columbia and the whole of south America is irrelevant. A series of skirmishes and random events manifested in your existence. There is no mandate from God, nothing. You don't get to put the horse behind the carriage and pretend you're suddenly the USA or Germany or France or Russia because you got a day on a piece of paper.

>>18689551
Fallacious argument
>everyone other person cares about arbitrary dates and made up stuff in all the other shitholes so we care tooo

>>18690169
What the fuck are you talking about?
the point in >>18689551 is that the people in Colombia care about Colombia, nothing more, you dumb faggot.

>>18688186
Well, I can recommend you:
German Castro Caycedo, he was an excellent chronicler (Perdido en el Amazonas and La Bruja are good books from him).
Jorge Isaacs (Maria).
Eduardo Caballero Calderón (Siervo sin Tierra).
Also you can read Jorge Eliécer Gaitan's if you want https://img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/0f4e64c7-d3ec-4ed4-a62a-85f109f7f27a/downloads/1bqnpkauc_912378.pdf

Jorge Eliécer Gaitan's thesis

>>18688186
One Hundred Years of Solitude is probably the best known book by a Columbian and about Columbia/Latin America

>>18688769
Mario Mendoza is hot garbage, but you can say that or his fans (a.k.a. the dudes from school that are now at the uni but manatin the same reading comprehensio as in seventh grade) lose their shit.

>Colombia care about Colombia, nothing more, you dumb faggot.
Wow follow the lemmings celebrating a dumb made up nonsense. Read the chain of comments that lead up to this and you are in denial and rage over your nonsense.

>>18691545
Love in the Time of Cholera is great as well.

I've read it in Spanish, it was ok but I was a bit disappointed, the fact that a lot of characters have the same names really turned me off

Good thread. Bump;

Bump for more colombian philosophy

The works of Fernando González, by some considered an existentialist philosopher, by others a mystic, are available (in Spanish) in otraparte.org/fernando-gonzalez/obra/ediciones/
I'd recommend "Viaje a Pie", "El Remordimiento" and "El Padre Elías"

>>18689488
>There is no mandate from God
The USA is the devil's work. Founded by freemasons (satan's slaves).

Colombia*.

You do know Columbia and Colombia are different things, right?

Killing Pablo

José Eugenio Díaz Castro - Manuela
Héctor Abad Faciolince - El olvido que seremos
Andrés Caicedo - ¡Que viva la música!
Rafael Pombo (all his stories and poems)

Colombia has good writers, but they are easy to forget and put aside.

I recommend you to read costumbrist and romanticism novels.
