Santiago Castro-Gómez is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Santiago Castro-Gómez as Colombian philosopher.
Santiago Castro-Gómez was born at Tepito in 1958. His recorded nationality is Colombia. He studied at Saint Thomas Aquinas University and University of Tübingen.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Pontifical Xavierian University.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from Colombia matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
