Abstract
This article explores the Ayoreo notion of dicoré, a spectral figure that inhabits the thresholds between human and non-human worlds and challenges the ontological regimes of presence that underlie Western metaphysics. Based on ethnographic fieldwork conducted between 2012 and 2014 in the Tiogai village, the analysis connects Ayoreo thought to contemporary discussions on spectrality, xenology, and cosmopolitics—particularly through the works of Hilan Bensusan, Jacques Derrida, and Fabián Ludueña-Romandini. Far from being a merely exotic cosmological element, dicoré emerges as a conceptual operator that unsettles classical ontological foundations by introducing a politics of rupture, disjunction, and incommensurability. The essay calls for a reconfiguration of philosophy itself, through a radical engagement with modes of existence that resist assimilation into regimes of presence and intelligibility.

The paper reconsiders Aristotle's Poetics as an integral part of his ontological and teleological philosophy rather than as an isolated aesthetic text. It argues that the principles of unity, causality, and necessity in tragic composition reflect the same conceptual framework that governs natural processes in Aristotle...
Following Hanegraaff’s (2020: 73) claim that pioneers in our field considered it “to be no less than essential for any adequate understanding of the history of human culture and society as such,” this text answers Schilbrack’s (2013) question: “After we deconstruct ‘religion’, then what?” The answer is formulated wit...
