Leopoldo Zea : originalidad y filosofía sin más

Abstract

The issue that most identified Leopoldo Zea’s large cultural output is the analysis of the link between Latin American culture and the Western world. The aim of this study is to analyze, through the philosophy of Zea, how the Western culture has influenced the Latin American, how and in what extent the latter has its own characteristics. The idea of the Mexican specialist is that the Americans should participate in the Western culture, not through a simple and unproductive imitation, but proposing matters as a tangible expression of their history and their world.
