in: Guttorm Fløistad (ed), Philosophy of Latin America, Berlin, Springer, 2003Abstract
One interesting debate that has been taking place in Latin America in recent years has been around the classical epistemological problem of the rationality of beliefs, especially the rationality of belief choice, and how it is possible for us to consider that some of our beliefs are objective and/or true, that is to say how it is possible for us to say something objective and/or true about reality. Thus, one of the main issues in this debate hinges around the elucidation of terms such as "objectivity', "truth' and "rationality'.
