Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez
Adolfo Sánchez Vázquez (September 17, 1915 – July 8, 2011)[1] was a Spanish-born Mexican philosopher, writer and professor born in Algeciras, Andalucia.
After studying philosophy at the University of Madrid, Vázquez emigrated to Mexico in 1939 with thousands of other intellectuals, scientists and artists following the defeat of the Republic in the Spanish Civil War. Sánchez was appointed a full-time professor of philosophy at the National Autonomous University of Mexico in 1959, becoming a professor emeritus of the university in 1985.[2] Sánchez also held honorary doctoral degrees from the Universidad Autónoma de Puebla and the University of Cádiz (Spain).[2]
He embraced Marxism, although an open, renovating, critical and non-dogmatic version of it. His fresh interpretation of Marxism ran parallel to that of the Frankfurt School. In fact, The Philosophy of Praxis was published at around the same time as Marcuse was writing his One Dimensional Man . In regard to ethics, he opposed normativism.
