Abstract
This article relates the Philosophy of Liberation with Reinhart Koselleck's Historics, proposing a crucial epistemological rupture for Latin America’s historical self-understanding. The Philosophy of Liberation is established as a functional Historics: domination defines an alienated space of experience (inauthenticity), while liberation operates as the key Koselleckian concept, standing as a horizon of expectation projected towards an autonomous future. This framework interprets regional reality as an imposed asynchrony, where the multiple strata of time manifest the structural violence of dependence. The consequent Historics of Liberation defines its key concept as the process seeking to synchronize the real experience of the majority with the promise of autonomy. Thus, it provides historiography with the necessary critical framework to measure its time, not by the distance to the hegemonic center, but by the intensity and conviction of its own autonomous prognosis.
