Abstract

The theological analysis of reality that we propose is a part of an actualisation project of the critical thought that had an important expression during the 70s and 80s in both Latin America and Africa. As a transcendental thought, the theological analysis of reality poses another possible world, another way of being, and another way of living. It transcends the immediate presents as they exist. But it also includes the immediate present inside the history, through the concrete analysis of the existing social relations and searches inside them other possibilities that are (absent) the same history. There is no way of thought, specifically social and human sciences, which can renounce to this telos: human life in its historic radicality.
