About the Maite Ezcurdia Essay Prize

The “Maite Ezcurdia Essay Prize” is a biennial prize created in honor of the life and work of Maite Ezcurdia (1966-2018), a Mexican philosopher who played a key role in the development of analytic philosophy in Mexico and Latin America. Her research focused on philosophy of language, philosophy of mind, epistemology, and cognitive science. Maite Ezcurdia's main research interests were the analysis of referential expressions, the semantics and pragmatics interface, the nature of linguistic understanding, consciousness, perception, and de se thoughts. As a researcher at the Institute for Philosophical Research of UNAM, Maite Ezcurdia trained several generations of philosophers who have pursued successful academic careers. She worked tirelessly to improve the academic quality of philosophical work in Mexico and was the editor-in-chief of the journal Crítica (2005-2011). At the international level, Maite Ezcurdia promoted the creation of the Latin American Association of Analytic Philosophy (ALFAn).

The prize is funded by Maite Ezcurdia's family and the convening institutions.
