Summary:
"Providing the first English translation of Analisis del ser del mexicano, this book features a full biography of Uranga, a detailed overview of the translated text, and discussion of Uranga's relevance to contemporary debates in the phenomenology of culture, the philosophy of liberation, Latin American philosophy and phenomenology itself. Reading Uranga's brilliant words expertly translated and introduced by Carlos Alberto Sanchez finally allows us to understand why this Mexican philosopher is considered one of the most fearless and original thinkers of the 20th century"-- Provided by publisher.
