Jorge Luis Méndez-Martínez gave the interview

Jorge Luis Méndez-Martínez, a researcher at IL LLFP, became the winner of the competition of the National Council of Mexico for Science and Technology. Jorge spoke about his research in an interview with the HSE portal.

— You will be working on an ambitious project on the philosophy of sound and auditory perception and the history of science in Mexico, Russia and the Soviet Union. What are your ideas for the project?

My individual project is related to the research I have been doing for the last eight years at HSE, which pertains to sound and auditory perception

Likewise, a proposal for conducting research in the history of science that points to certain links between Mexico and Russia (and the Soviet Union) is in the works. I specifically would like to focus on certain key figures. Among them, I’d like to mention the Mexican philosopher Eli de Gortari, a logician, who published a work in the Soviet Union on dialectic logic (Введение в диалектическую логику). De Gortari was also the first—and to my knowledge the only—Mexican philosopher who published in the prestigious journal Voprosy Filosofii. Thus, one of my plans is to prepare a scientific paper in Russian about this author for that same journal and become the second Mexican philosopher to achieve this. One of my goals is to encourage the exchange between Russian and Mexican philosophies.
