In Critical Marxism in Mexico, Stefan Gandler, coming from the tradition of the Frankfurt School, reveals the contributions that Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría have made to universal thought. While in recent years Latin America has distanced itself politically and economically from global power centers, in the realm of philosophy it has remained under the dominance of conventional western thinking.

Despite having studied in Europe, where philosophical Eurocentrism remains virulent, Gandler opens his eyes to another tradition of modernity and offers an account of the lives and philosophies of Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez and Bolívar Echeverría, former senior faculty members at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Through its attempt to popularize the major works of these two great Mexican philosophers, Critical Marxism in Mexico is an invaluable resource for all those trying to place Critical Theory at the center of international philosophical discussions
