Crítica. Revista Hispanoamericana de Filosofía is a quarterly journal published by the Institute for Philosophical Research at UNAM in Mexico. It publishes original articles, discussions, survey articles, book symposia, target articles, special issues, and reviews in any area of philosophy, as long as they fall within the analytic tradition broadly understood. Crítica places great value on conceptual precision, argumentative rigor, and originality. Crítica’s readers are primarily academic philosophers and philosophy students, so authors are expected to make clear how their work helps advance the relevant philosophical debates.
Founded in 1967 by Alejandro Rossi, Fernando Salmerón and Luis Villoro, Crítica was the first journal dedicated to analytic philosophy in Latin America. It has published articles by influential authors such as Carlos Alchourrón, G.E.M. Anscombe, David M. Armstrong, Eugenio Bulygin, Héctor-Neri Castañeda, Donald Davidson, Jon Elster, R.M. Hare, Gilbert Harman, John L. Mackie, Hugo Margáin, John McDowell, Thomas Nagel, David F. Pears, Arthur N. Prior, Hilary Putnam, W.V.O. Quine, Richard Rorty, Gilbert Ryle, Sydney Shoemaker, Thomas M. Simpson, Ernest Sosa, Peter F. Strawson, Bas C. van Fraassen, and Georg H. von Wright.
