José Pablo Feinmann (born 10 March 1943) is an Argentine philosopher, writer, playwright and TV host.
Born in a Jewish Argentine family, Feinmann was a militant of the Peronist Youth during the 1970s, considering peronism as a real mass movement with the potential to change the country for better. Nevertheless, he always opposed to the principle of armed violence to achieve political ends, and thus criticized the Foco theory of Che Guevara which, years after the Cuban Revolution, became popular in some sectors of the leftist peronism (Montoneros, Peronist Armed Forces). Feinmann abandoned peronism in the 1990s, during the right-wing neoliberal government of Carlos Menem. He later became a supporter of left-wing peronist president Cristina Fernandez.
