biography

After completing her licentiate in philosophy (1995–1999), for whose thesis she was awarded the “ Gabino Barreda ” medal , she began her master's studies at the Facultad de Filosofía y Letras at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México. Through the Mexican philosopher Mariflor Aguilar Rivero , she came into close contact with the Hermeneutics Department, which until recently had a far-reaching influence on the Mexican university landscape, especially the humanities in the country. The seminar for hermeneutics at the Facultad des Filosofía y Letras of the UNAM organized with their help in November 2004 an international congress on the German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer ( Congreso Internacional Gadamer y las humanidades , the corresponding congress volume was published in 2007). She won the Alfonso Caso medal for both her master's thesis and her doctoral thesis . The topic of her doctoral thesis (completed in 2005) was: On the ontology of fiction . She also spent her postdoc at the UNAM at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filológicas (2006/2007). Her book The unveiled art (Orig. El arte develado , Herder 2005) found widespread reception in Spanish-speaking philosophy . Since 2007 she has held the professorship for philosophy at UNAM with a focus on ontology and aesthetics .

In 2011 she founded the interdisciplinary research group Arte + Ciencia (Art + Science) at UNAM, in which humanities and natural scientists enter into dialogue with artists. In the same year she won the UNAM Young Academy Award for her work in the field of humanities. González Valerio also works as a translator (German-Spanish, French-Spanish) of philosophical works and as a curator. In 2012/2013 she was in charge of the first exhibition on biotechnological and transgenic art in Mexico. She maintains close scientific relationships, especially with Europe (Germany, France, Spain, Slovenia) and has had several guest stays there.

philosophy

González Valerio understands her approach based on an immanence of the everyday in the sense of the Spanish philosopher Teresa Oñate , who coined the term “ontología-estética”. Following this, and with recourse to the philosophy of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel , González Valerio tries to establish a philosophy that is based on immanence and sensuality. In this way a relationship to the world is created in which technology , science, art and literature (including the idea of ​​the biofact ) are constitutive in their respective actual forms. One of her influential authors is Hans-Georg Gadamer , from whom she translated writings into Spanish. She submitted further translations into Spanish for writings by Friedrich Nietzsche . Her more recent work deals with the ontological and aesthetic dimensions of so-called organic art as well as with a new modeling of natural philosophy ( Grundlegungen zu einer Naturphilosophie , in Spanish 2014). Further research areas are philosophy of technology and philosophy of science . One of her concerns is also the teaching of Spanish-speaking and German-speaking philosophy of the 19th and 20th centuries. She also advocates a contemporary Mexican philosophy .
