Paper short abstract:

This paper investigates the relevant literature based on critical theories in the field of anti-neoliberal and anti-developmentalist proposals that have emerged as a response to neoliberalism, such as the critical theory of degrowth and the indigenous cosmovision of Sumak Kawsay.

Paper long abstract:

Debates on post-development, such as the Sumak Kawsay approach in the Constitution of Ecuador, translated as "Buen Vivir", and in the other hand the degrowth theory of Latouche (2006), which affirms that growth it in an undesirable and unsustainable concept, are used to be treated as converging paradigms in terms of representation of similar post-hegemonic alternatives (Unceta Satrústegui, 2013).

The emergence of these critical theories, in opposition to a neoliberalism and hegemonic development discourse, represents at first, an epistemological rupture in terms of emergence of a process to a new collective paradigm.

In this sense, the recent Ecuadoran Constitution of 2008, it is considered a fundamental attempt to the establishment of an ethical coexistence and harmony between the nature and the human being - in sense of a new juridical and formal draw regulation.

However, in practice, the power of economic and political extractives interests, maintains a contradictory scenario against the indigenous and the environmental rights during the application and implementation of the directives of a plurinational and intercultural State of Ecuador (Gudynas, 2009; Dávalos, 2013).

Considering this paradoxical context, this paper embrace a philosophical debate based on an ontological social semantic analyses, in terms of reconstruction of a new existentialism and community ecologic subjectivity in order to overcome the hegemonic neoliberal paradigm and legitimate the post hegemonic epistemological rupture.
