TODAY IN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY: Vasconcelos and the Cosmic Race of Mexico
Friday 28 February 2025 is the 143rd anniversary of the birth of José Vasconcelos Calderón (28 February 1882 – 30 June 1959), who was born in Oaxaca on this date in 1882.
Vasconcelos has been enormously influential in Mexico, not only as a philosopher, but also in terms of his institutional legacy, since he was rector of the national university and served as Secretary of Public Education. Vasconcelos laid out his vision of the distinctive destiny of Mexico and its people in his 1925 book The Cosmic Race, which continues to be influential a hundred years later.
