View submission: Truth isn’t universal. | How Mexican philosophy dismantles Trump-era absolutism with a perspectival view of truth grounded in lived experience.

That article might have been 'fine' (though not really) if it had started by defining exactly what 'Mexican philosophy' is—but it doesn’t. Instead, it attributes to 'Mexican philosophy' a vague notion of 'relativism' (or whatever you’d like to call it). This characterization only holds if you follow a *particular* strand of Mexican philosophy, which, like all philosophies produced within a national context, is inherently plural.

Can we truly describe Trump as a universalist? Trump *est nihil*.
