books that build a history of
thought
The Jesuit priest
Antonio Rubio was
the organiser of the
philosophical
studies of the
Society of Jesus in
New Spain. He is
also the celebrated author of the philosophy texts
from which much of the European youth of the first
half of the seventeenth century learned philosophy.
During the twenty-four years ( 1576 to 1600 ) that
Rubio remained in New Spain, he wrote his
philosophical course, which eventually consisted of
five books. On his return to Europe, these began to
appear in European presses, reaching about 60
editions between 1603 and 1641. The most widely
distributed of these was, significantly, the Lógica
mexicana, which went through more than 25
editions. The wide dissemination of Rubio's work was
a milestone in colonialist culture. Indeed, Hispania, in
particular, strove to recreate its culture and
civilisation in America. Rubio's philosophical thought
is the image that the "Novo-Hispanic Logos"
suppressed the original pre-Columbian "Logos“.https://worldcat.org/es/title/ 643060424
