OVIEDO, Gerardo. Argentine philosophy and free essay. Horacio González, reader of Carlos Astrada. Cuyo-anu. filos. argent. am. [online]. 2017, vol.34, n.1, pp.49-76.  Epub 06-Mayo-2021. ISSN 1853-3175.

The article proposes a revaluation of the reading that Horacio González makes about the work of Carlos Astrada. This pursues a double purpose. First, give an account of how the question is addressed by the existence of an "Argentine philosophy" from the tradition of free essay. Second, show that the response of Horacio González, without being conclusive, tends to be answered in political and cultural terms rather than ontological and ethical. It is implicit in this that to address the problem of the existence of a national philosophy it is necessary to have, even provisionally, a theory of Argentine culture. Horacio González sketches this theory in a baroque and libertarian key, but not directly, but transversely or obliquely, through a genealogical history of the Argentine interpretation essay, in whose canon stands out, precisely, El Mito Gaucho (1948 and 1964) by Carlos Astrada, in particular, and his writings on Marxist dialectics, in general.
