Sanchez and Sanchez have selected, edited, translated, and
introduced some of the most influential texts in Mexican
philosophy, which constitute a unique and robust tradition that
will challenge and complicate traditional conceptions of
philosophy. The texts collected here are organized chronologically
and represent a period of Mexican thought and culture that emerged
from the Mexican Revolution of 1910 and which culminated in la
filosofia de lo mexicano (the philosophy of Mexicanness). Though
the selections reflect on a variety of philosophical questions,
collectively they represent a growing tendency to take seriously
the question of Mexican national identity as a philosophical
question-especially given the complexities of Mexico's indigenous
and European ancestries, a history of colonialism, and a growing
dependency on foreign money and culture. More than an attempt to
describe the national character, however, the texts gathered here
represent an optimistic period in Mexican philosophy that aimed to
affirm Mexican culture and philosophy as a valuable, if not urgent,
contribution to universal culture.
