Critical Marxism in Mexico: Adolfo Sanchez Vazquez and Bolivar Echeverria

In Critical Marxism in Mexico, Stefan Gandler, coming from the tradition of the Frankfurt School, reveals the contributions thatAdolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría have made to universal thought. While in recent times Latin America has taken its distance from global power centers, and reorganised its political and economical relations, in philosophy the same tendency is barely visible. This book is a contribution to the reorganisation of international philosophical discussion, with Critical Theory as the point of departure.
Despite having studied in Europe, where philosophical Eurocentrism remains virulent, Gandler opens his eyes to another tradition of modernity and offers an account on the life and philosophy of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría, former senior facultu members at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
