 Notable work in this vein includes Aníbal Sánchez Reulet’s (1910–1997) groundbreaking work, published in Tierra Firme in 1936 and entitled “Panorama de las ideas filosóficas en Hispanoamérica.” Subsequent work by Zea on positivism in Mexico, written in the early 1940s, as well as Ramos’ historical study of Mexican philosophy took up the thread, as did Ramón Insua Rodríguez’s history of philosophy in Hispanic America and Guillermo Francovich’s account of philosophy in Bolivia. In the eight decades since the publication of Sánchez Reulet’s essay, there has been a remarkable proliferation of work concerned with the identity of Latin American philosophy. In addition, anthologies, specialized works, and critical editions of Latin American philosophical classics have been published. The very controversy concerning the existence and possibility of an autochthonous Latin American philosophy that drew so much attention in the second quarter of the twentieth century (and, for that matter, still continues), has helped to promote and spread the knowledge of Latin American thought and the philosophical dialogue among Latin American philosophers.[3]
