Abstract
Este artículo analiza los conflictos y dilemas por los que atraviesa la sociedad boliviana, haciendo énfasis en el debate que existe entre los principios universalistas (derivados del racionalismo de la tradición occidental moderna) y los valores particularistas (los que provienen de la propia herencia cultural premoderna). El país ha estado casi siempre dividido, por lo menos en dos partes: aquella Bolivia de orígenes y valores indígenas, versus el perfil de una Bolivia que aspira a ser parte del contexto mundial de la modernidad occidentalizada
This article analyses some of the conflicts and dilemmas that Bolivian society is experiencing. Emphasis is placed on the debate between universal principles (derived from rationalism and the modern Western tradition) and particularist values (those coming from the pre-modern cultural heritage). The country has almost always been divided into two parts: that fraction with indigenous origins and values, against the other fragment of Bolivia that aspires to be part of the world context characterized by Western modernity
