 The filosofía de lo mexicano (the philosophy of Mexicanness) was a creative and original movement that impacted other areas of culture. However, after the 1960s the desire to treat Mexico as the object of philosophical inquiry declined, and it is only in the last few years that a small group of Mexican and Mexican-American philosophers have, in collaboration, attempted to rescue elements of that movement to think about Mexico from a philosophical point of view and to think about philosophy from a Mexican point of view.
