 Throughout Latin America, philosophers have raised metaphilosophical questions about the originality and peculiarity of their own philosophy. Likewise, it is often claimed that philosophy in Mexico is not the same as Mexican philosophy, and that while philosophy in Mexico has a long and distinguished history, it is wrong to speak of Mexican philosophy, defined by the originality or authenticity of its debates or theses, the distinctness of its schools, or the uniqueness of its style or terminology (see Romanell 1975). Other scholars disagree and argue that there are indeed substantive, thematic, or stylistic continuities that underlie much of the philosophy produced in Mexico and that allow us to speak of Mexican philosophy as an original and authentic tradition. Still others believe that although philosophy in Mexico does not constitute a unified and distinct tradition yet, it has the potential to become one. (For an extended discussion of the difference between “Mexican philosophy” and “Philosophy in Mexico”, see Hurtado 2007, particularly chapter 2.)
