Sánchez has accomplished a monumental feat. 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.

Carlos Sánchez provides a masterful study and translation of Emilio Uranga's innovative, comparative perspective on Mexican being. For Uranga, the Mexican, a priori judged insufficient by Europeans, instead chose to be accidental. Uranga's embrace of the restless anxiety of zozobra centers Mexican existence.
