To go through the pages of the Autobiography of Mario Bunge is to
accompany him through dozens of countries and examine the
intellectual, political, philosophical and scientific spheres of
the last hundred years. It is an experience that oscillates between
two different worlds: the different and the similar, the
professional and the personal. It is an established fact that one
of his great loves was, and still is, science. He has always been
dedicated to scientific work, teaching, research, and training men
and women in multiple disciplines. Life lessons fall like ripe
fruit from this book, bringing us closer to a concept, a
philosophical idea, a scientific digression, which had since been
uncovered in numerous notes, articles or books. Bunge writes about
the life experiences in this book with passion, naturalness and
with a colloquial frankness, whether they be persecutions,
banishment, imprisonment, successes, would-be losses, emotions,
relationships, debates, impressions or opinions about people or
things. In his pages we pass by the people with whom he shared a
fruitful century of achievements and incredible depths of thought.
Everything is remembered with sincerity and humor. This
autobiography is, in truth, Bunge on Bunge, sharing everything that
passes through the sieve of his memory, as he would say. Mario's
many grandchildren are a testament to his proud standing as a
family man, and at the age of 96 he gives us a book for everyone:
for those who value the memories that hold the trauma of his life
as well as for those who share his passion for science and culture.
Also, perhaps, for some with whom he has had disagreements or
controversy, for he still deserves recognition for being a staunch
defender of his convictions.
