Abstract

CAMARGO, Walter César. Francisco Romero: Letters with Mexican Intellectuals. Cuyo [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.2, pp.63-86. ISSN 1853-3175.

Francisco Romero (Seville, 1891 - Buenos Aires, 1962) is one of the most significant intellectuals in Latin America. His writings, his teaching, the dissemination of his thought, and the exchange of letters with internationally renowned figures are evidence of his legacy. In this paper we focus on this last aspect to prove the manifest intent of building an intellectual network of philosophers in Latin America. The editorial concerns of both Romero as well as his Mexican counterparts are present. We also focus on the topic of exile and the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939), through the letters that the Argentine author received from refugees in Mexico. The analysis of this historical source shows the state of the intellectual field (preferably philosophical) of the region in the period studied, at the same time that it provides a valuable overview of the historical context in Argentina and Latin America.
