Abstract

This article intends to make an introductory analysis about what is the Afroperspective Political Philosophy, from this conception, to analyze to what extent the Quilombismo, movement and political project of society, proposed by the philosopher Abdias Nascimento, can be understood as an expression of a philosophy. Afro-Brazilian politics (Afroperspectivist). It is assumed that the black population has historically been the victim of an agorophobic political system, which has silenced its political agency, and that Afro-Perspective philosophy rescues the cultural, intellectual and political memory and memory of the diasporic peoples. In conclusion, the present text presents the thought of Abdias Nascimento as an expression of Afro-Brazilian political philosophy to the evidence of the libertarian and revolutionary character of the Quilombista National State project. Reiterates the importance of political philosophy rescuing and investigating other projects of society that have as their axis the true freedom of peoples, especially the black and indigenous people if, in fact, we want a future project of society in which everyone can live well
