biography
Caso studied law at the Escuela Nacional de Jurisprudencia in Mexico City and graduated in 1905. In the following year he founded the literary magazine " Savia Moderna " with José Vasconcelos and Carlos González Peña and after its dissolution in 1909 the literary circle " Ateneo de la Juventud ", to which Alfonso Reyes belonged. Like him, he gave lectures in literature and philosophy at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM).
Caso never worked as a lawyer, but taught literature, philosophy and sociology at the national university. In 1910 he co-founded the Philosophical Faculty of UNAM and was later its director. In his teaching he turned against positivism and made philosophers such as Henri Bergson , Wilhelm Dilthey , Edmund Husserl and Oswald Spengler known in Mexico.
