Analytic

The analytic is a method created by the Philosophy of Liberation, developed by thinkers such as theologian Juan Carlos Scannone, philosopher Enrique Dussel and anthropologist Rodolfo Kusch.

Dussel explains the method in his book Philosophy of liberation, as an appropriate method to perform the philosophical task. The term analéctica (in ancient Greek, ανωλεκτική) is formed by the union of the Greek terms ανω anó, meaning "beyond", and λογιζομαι loguizomai, which means "to reason."

For Dussel, the dialectic considers the unity of the different, of the opposites in the totality of the being. The analytic means to go beyond the totality and to meet the Other, which is originally different and therefore its logos bursts interpellant beyond my understanding of being, beyond my interest. This method integrates, at least at its base, two modes of philosophical analysis already treated and used by the philosophical tradition: analogy (classical method, quite used in Thomism and other schools of scholastic), and dialectic ( already understood in its Platonic slope or in its Hegelian / Marxist slope.)

According to Jesus Villagrasa, this term was created by Bernhard Lakebrink to apply it to Thomist metaphysics.
