Praise for the original Spanish edition: “In a world with a lot of violence and great injustices, Mexico Unveiled offers a breath of fresh air: the deontological perspective is not abandoned; on the contrary, it is used to argue claims and denounce relations of domination. Not only does it teach us to go beyond the obvious, but also to ask ourselves why the consolidation of the obvious.” —Arturo Santillana Andraca, Ánfora ""This volume treats the reader to Carlos Pereda’s philosophical virtuosity. With this flawless translation, Noell Birondo introduces an English-speaking audience to Pereda’s masterful reflections on 'nomadic reason,' modern notions of identity, and the persistence of 'colonial vices' in contemporary Mexican philosophy. This is an essential text for anyone interested in these topics and in contemporary Latin American philosophy more generally."" —Carlos Alberto Sánchez​, author of Blooming in the Ruins: How Mexican Philosophy Can Guide You Toward the Good Life
