La filosofía mexicana en el siglo XX: un recorrido historiográfico a parte italica

This essay aims to demonstrate the growing interest developed in Italy, especially in the last twenty years, in the works and philosophical perspectives of the most relevant Mexican thinkers of the 20th century. The intention is to reconstruct the evolution of the historiographical debate in relation to the interest in the thought and the legacy of the exiles (transterrados) who arrived in Mexico in the 1930s, due to the very strong interest in Italy since the 1980s, towards the philosophical speculation of Ortega y Gasset. Our observation is aimed at analyzing the path that has been rediscovered in Italy, with a strong southern imprint, the great themes of Mexican philosophy, characterizing it as a specifically autochthonous phenomenon. It is evidenced two-way prosperous exchange between European historicism and the Italian –in particular– and the Mexican historicalphilosophical research, which during the 20th century has assigned Mexico and all of Latin America as a subject of inquiry. In this way, an attempt is made to evaluate the weight of the reading, from the translations from Spanish to Italian, and the conditions of Crocian and Gramscian historicism. Finally, we must not forget that the Italian discovery (or rediscovery) of Mexican philosophy of the last century has occurred due to the dissemination, and success in the peninsula of philosophy reinterpreted by intercultural reading.
