This supposed beacon of peaceful coexistence began, of course,...

Las ideas que, a continuación serán presentadas, no están enmarcadas en el campo de una determinada filosofía académica –aludiendo con tal expresión, la filosofía que se realiza en las universidades, sean éstas, públicas o privadas. Las ideas que serán expuestas constituyen un ejercicio de pensamiento a la luz de las experiencias con las plantas de poder. Empero, dada mi formación filosófica, empleo el lenguaje de algunos filósofos que son relativamente afines a tales experiencias.(ITESO)
