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 \u003cem\u003ela filosofía de lo mexicano\u003c\/em\u003e (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\u003cbr\u003ephilosophy that aimed to affirm Mexican culture and philosophy as a valuable, if not urgent, contribution to universal culture.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert Eli Sanchez, Jr. \u003c\/strong\u003ereceived his Ph.D. in philosophy from the University of California, Riverside in 2012.
