 By the mid 1990s, academic centers in Latin America began to benefit from the kind of world-wide interaction made possible by the Internet, electronic libraries, and improved forms of institutional support for integration and travel. With geographical and institutional barriers greatly reduced, the field expanded considerably. Over the last three decades virtually every theme in philosophy of science would develop a presence in works produced in Latin America. Dialogue and collaboration between researchers now transcend the traditional local boundaries. This new global environment makes less relevant the traditional geographical approach to philosophical production in the region. Accordingly, Sections 3 and 4, devoted to activity from the mid 1990s on, structure the subject around themes, concepts, and principles (rather than around geography and individuals).
