Teresa Rodríguez is a Mexican philosopher and researcher at the Instituto de Investigaciones Filosóficas (Institute for Philosophical Research) at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). Her work centers on the history of philosophy, with a particular emphasis on Renaissance thought, the historiography of Platonism, methodological issues in the history of philosophy, and the recovery of women’s contributions to philosophical traditions. She explores how historical narratives shape philosophical understanding, including the reception of European ideas in Latin American contexts and the intersections of gender, philosophy, and intellectual history.
She is a co-founder of the Latin American Network for the Study of Women Philosophers in History and has participated in international conferences on topics such as gender equality in early modern philosophy and disciplinary intersections around women in philosophy. Her publications include articles like “La historiografía filosófica de Ramón Xirau” (Inter-American Journal of Philosophy, Volume 10, Issue 2), which examines the philosophical historiography of the prominent Mexican thinker Ramón Xirau; chapters such as “The Eclecticism of Anne Conway” in Women in the History of Philosophy and Sciences (2022); and recent work on Laureana Wright and the reception of French social romanticism in 19th-century Mexico (Journal of the History of Women Philosophers and Scientists, 2025), highlighting ambivalence in Wright’s feminist essays influenced by thinkers like Eugène Pelletan. She has also contributed to discussions on historiographical models for studying figures like Anne Conway and broader themes in early modern philosophy.
