Philosophy and research in Latin America: Notes from the Mexican case

The questions over the endeavors of the humanities and social sciences have the merit of being renewed with each generation and context. Philosophy is no exception and one question emerges: why is philosophy useful for research? In this article we contribute an answer to such a question, considering the study of philosophy in Mexican education to exemplify our reflection, which was motivated by the issue that philosophy is being overlooked and even excluded from education and research training in Latin American countries. Hence, we also discuss the importance of philosophy as a research tool that should be more prominent in undergraduate and graduate programs.
