Alexander von Humboldt: un ensayo sobre la antropología filosófica del mexicano

Abstract

The main objective in this text is discussing about the Political Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain that encompasses such diverse fields as the natural, exact and social sciences, formidably structured on a treatise of the Mexican territory of the nineteenth century; in other words, Humboldt dominates the study on mineral, botanical and animal worlds, and also puts them in relation with each other. He related the social world in relation to its setting. Is it possible to abstract a philosophical anthropology of this multiphase work? Does Humboldt identify a profile of the Mexican as have Samuel Ramos and Octavio Paz, just to name a few?
