In this study we intend to present the methodology of global thinking that rejects the traditional strategy of “globalization”, which aims to universally impose a single economic-social model and proposes the promotion of intercultural relations and the valorization of national and linguistic identities. In this sense, globalization does not mean a homogenization of thought, but the recognition of the importance of philosophical, literary and artistic diversity for the civilizational development and progress in the humanization of peoples. The ideological imposition of currents of thought and research methods, disseminated through Basic English, must be replaced by a critical interpretation that addresses the existential dynamics of being-in-the-world and being-in-place and values models of intercommunication cultural in the dialectic between the particularity of situated thought and its inclination towards universality.
