This paper argues that pluralism is a democratic practice that involves contesting both the hegemony of anti-pluralism, and being open to agonistic conflict with fellow philosophers in deciding what pluralism in philosophy is or ought to look like. By giving a historical reconstruction of the US pluralist tradition, offering a philosophical account of a "polyvocal pluralism" that is conscious of power relations, and discussing the importance of difficult conversations with fellow pluralists as a key component of a democratic solidarity, this paper argues for reviving the contestatory spirit of the Pluralist tradition for continuing to advance and develop it today.

This review article takes up the issue of race in Latin American philosophy and Susan Nuccetelli's analysis of it by asking how we think the place of race in Latin American philosophy given that she argues that race is both an internal factor (in the sense that Latin American philosophy theorizes race) as well as an external factor (in the sense that racism and raciality have significantly determined the production of Latin American philosophy)? The article thematizes white supremacy in Latin American philosophy in order to ask to what degree Latin American philosophy can respond to white supremacy in philosophy without questioning its own grounds and relation to white supremacy.
