 Although Mexican philosophy has been concerned with every manner of theoretical inquiry, it might be characterized by a particular concern with ethical and political issues and the concrete consequences of philosophical inquiry. The questions concerning human nature and the relation between power and reason have been central to the development of Mexican philosophy, from early reflections on the justification of the Spanish conquest to recent debates about democratic reform or the Indian insurgence in Chiapas. The critique of philosophical eurocentrism is another central feature of Mexican philosophy.
