Presentation of the Dossier "Mexico and Latin America: Mauricio Beuchot's Analogical Hermeneutics in South-South Dialogue"

Abstract

This dossier brings together a series of works that aim to address different aspects and themes of the analogical hermeneutics of Mauricio Hardie Beuchot Puente (Coahuila, Mexico, 1950). A Dominican priest, philosopher, historian of ideas, philologist, translator, pedagogue, editor and poet, he is one of the greatest exponents of the Mexican and Ibero-American philosophical landscape. His baroque-style philosophical project amalgamates universal and local, classical and contemporary theoretical inspirations, with a view to achieving a new analytical synthesis of systematic pretension and practical intention. An author with a vast trajectory, his work includes titles such as El problema de los universales (1981), Tratado de hermenéutica analógica. Hacia un nuevo modelo de interpretación (2000) and Interpretación del ser humano. Un ensayo de antropología filosófica (2019). To this is added his prolific production as an article writer and lecturer.
