 The main exponent of philosophical hermeneutics, Mauricio Beuchot (b. 1950), distinguished himself early as a historian and a translator of the philosophy of New Spain and medieval philosophy (e.g., La filosofía del lenguaje en la Edad Media, 1981), as well as for his synthesis of Thomism and analytic philosophy (e.g., Lógica y ontología, 1986). In the 1990s, however, he turned to hermeneutics. In his Tratado de hermenéutica analógica (1997), he developed a system that he called “analogical hermeneutics”. His thesis is that, to avoid the excesses of positivist “univocalism” or postmodern “equivocalism”, one must adopt analogy as the primary method of interpretation. Beuchot’s analogical hermeneutics has inspired a philosophical movement with hundreds of students around the world.
