Data-driven approaches to philosophy have emerged as a valuable tool for studying the history of the discipline. However, most studies in this area have focused on a limited number of journals from specific regions and subfields. We expand the scope of this research by applying dynamic topic modelling techniques to explore the history of philosophy in Colombia and Latin America. Our study examines the Colombian philosophy journal Ideas y Valores, founded in 1951 and currently one of the most influential academic philosophy journals in the region. By analyzing the evolution of topics across the journal's history, we identify various trends and specific dynamics in philosophical discourse within the Colombian and Latin American context. Our findings reveal that the most prominent topics are value theory (including ethics, political philosophy, and aesthetics), epistemology, and the philosophy of science. We also trace the evolution of articles focusing on the historical and interpretive aspects of philosophical texts, and we note a notable emphasis on German philosophers such as Kant, Husserl, and Hegel on various topics throughout the journal's lifetime. Additionally, we investigate whether articles with a historical focus have decreased over time due to editorial pressures. Our analysis suggests no significant decline in such articles. Finally, we propose ideas for extending this research to other Latin American journals and suggest improvements for natural language processing workflows in non-English languages.

翻译：数据驱动的哲学研究方法已成为研究该学科历史的重要工具。然而，该领域的大多数研究仅聚焦于特定地区及子领域的少数期刊。本研究通过应用动态主题建模技术，拓展了研究范围，以探究哥伦比亚及拉丁美洲的哲学发展史。我们以1951年创刊的哥伦比亚哲学期刊《思想与价值》为研究对象，该期刊目前是该地区最具影响力的学术哲学期刊之一。通过分析该期刊历史中主题的演变轨迹，我们识别出哥伦比亚及拉丁美洲语境下哲学话语的多种趋势与具体动态。研究发现，最突出的主题包括价值理论（涵盖伦理学、政治哲学与美学）、认识论以及科学哲学。同时，我们追溯了聚焦哲学文本历史与诠释维度的文章演变脉络，并注意到该期刊在不同时期对康德、胡塞尔、黑格尔等德国哲学家的持续关注。此外，我们探究了具有历史导向的文章是否因编辑压力而随时间减少，分析表明此类文章并未出现显著下降。最后，我们提出了将此项研究拓展至其他拉丁美洲期刊的设想，并对非英语自然语言处理工作流程的改进提出了建议。
