This article aims to discuss the main foundations of Enrique Dussel's Philosophy of Liberation, from his critique of totality to the process of denaturalizing the world. It seeks to understand how Dussel's proposed liberation is realized in contemporary contexts, based on the hypothesis that the educational space constitutes a possibility for the exercise of liberation. The research is bibliographical and phenomenological in nature, and seeks to elucidate fundamental concepts such as totality, Other, world, and denaturalization. It concludes that by showing the ideology of the center, Europe, it can foster the awareness of the victim, situated on the periphery of the world, especially in Latin America, enabling new forms of liberating thought and action.
