Mexican Philosophy for the 21st Century

This wise and well argued book is a game changer for teaching Mexican philosophy as well as helping contemplate how to live meaningfully. Innovative presentations of key themes in the understudied field of Mexican philosophy allow readers to engage philosophically from the start and wrestle with urgent concerns in their lives. * Amy A. Oliver, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Spanish, and Latin American Studies, American University, USA *
Mexican Philosophy for the 21st Century is more than an introduction to Mexican philosophy. It demonstrates how to apply Mexican philosophy to our contemporary lives and world, and makes a compelling case for the specificity and originality of Mexican philosophy, paving the way into what the author calls “post-Western” philosophy in the English-speaking world. * Robert Eli Sanchez, Jr, Associate Professor of Philosophy, Occidental College, USA *
This book is an important contribution to demonstrating the relevance and potential of Latin American philosophy in the 21st century. Seven distinctly Mexican concepts used by Mexican philosophers are carefully and clearly translated, explained, and applied to everyday human concerns. After reading it, there should be no doubt that Mexican philosophy has powerful theoretical and conceptual resources to tackle and understand social and concrete problems across the globe. * Gregory Fernando Pappas, Professor of Philosophy, Texas A&M University, USA *
Carlos Sánchez is one of the leaders of the reconstruction of Mexican philosophy as a "world philosophy".
