Abstract

This essay attempts to offer a glimpse of the way in which existentialist ideas arrived in Mexico and the conditions of reception of the Mexican circumstance. It mentions the most representative themes and thinkers. It talks about a writer close to Dostoyevsky and existentialism, José Revuelta, and how Sartrean ideas became interwoven with education after the student movements of 1968.
