His careful and meticulously crafted translation allows us to see for ourselves the brilliance of Uranga's prose and the profundity of his thought. This book will finally allow Uranga to claim his place in 20th century philosophy-a place of prominence that is certainly long overdue.” —\u003ci\u003eGuillermo Hurtado, Senior Researcher, National Autonomous University of Mexico, Mexico\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Carlos Sánchez provides a masterful study and translation of Emilio Uranga's innovative, comparative perspective on Mexican being. For Uranga, the Mexican, \u003ci\u003ea priori\u003c\/i\u003e judged insufficient by Europeans, instead chose to be accidental. Uranga's embrace of the restless anxiety of \u003ci\u003ezozobra\u003c\/i\u003e centers Mexican existence.” —\u003ci\u003eAmy A.
