According to Wikipedia, Alejandro Arturo Vallega Arredondo is a Chilean-born philosopher, decolonial thinker, writer, painter, and Professor of philosophy at the University of Oregon. In his work he develops an aesthetic philosophy, in which he engages the aesthetic or pre-reflexive affective, embodied and memorial dimensions of understanding and living experience. In the recent years he has emphasized this approach to philosophical understanding in seeking to extend the fields of decolonial philosophy, Continental philosophy, and Latin American Philosophy of Liberation. This work happens in thinking between these ways of thinking, histories, and lineages, in bringing them into dialogue, for the sake of finding new or inceptive engagements with concrete existence. Vallega has been co-director of the Collegium Phänomenologicum twice and is active member of the director's board. He served in the past as president of North American Society for Philosophical Hermeneutics. Among his editorial activities, he is the editor of the English version of Enrique Dussel's Ethics of Liberation, and he is editor of the World Philosophies Series, published by Indiana University Press. In the last years he has developed a body of art works under the theme of "elemental painting." He is part of the core faculty of the Center of Study and Investigation for Global Dialogues, Decolonizing Knowledge and Power International School, Barcelona, Spain.
