This contribution deals with the Argentinian philosopher Eugenio Pucciarelli (1907-1995) and his reception of phenomenology, which he endows with a humanistic accent. After introducing his contribution to phenomenology in Latin America, I will develop the following issues: (1) the mission of philosophy, the diverse ways of accessing its essence, particularly those of Scheler, Dilthey and Husserl; (2) his reception of Husserl insofar as it concerns the ideals of science and reason; (3) his pluralist conception of reason, time and culture, and, (4) humanism and liberty. I contend that Pucciarelli’s conception of phenomenology and of philosophy in general, reveals a profound pluralistic humanism that emphasizes its militant and critical function, underscoring thus the actuality of his message.
