Whithin this context of contemporary thought, José Porfirio Miranda has published his philosophical inquiry and scientific demonstration of Ethical Reason in Mexico and the First World. Exegist, scientist and philosofer his books and articles published during the last 30 years provide revelations for those who study without prejudice, that i, those who study scientifically. Not only are these works of revelation but they provide solid demonstration, and truly represent an alternative necessary for our passage into the Twenty-first Century.
 

Apelo a la Razón. 1983. Edit. Spain.
Edit. México.

This book presents a biting and detailed critique of positivism, described as technical utilitarism which encloses itself within a skeptical naturalism, by denying that justice could be an objective concept and believing that whatever is observed with one’s eyes is more real than ethics. Positivists have wished to persuade everyone that moral and human judgment and criteria are not scientific, and thus are not reliable. Such assertions arise from a deliberate misunderstanding of the nature of Science. Porfirio Miranda therefore dedicated himself to analysing and dismantling piece by piece this widely spread misunderstanding. He demonstrated that scientific truth within any science is measured by the degree of argumentative rationality with which it is adopted. The primary truth of ethical judgment, that "the person is an end and not the means" is demonstrated making clear that this is the condition of possiblitity for any rational discussion and hence for any science.
 

Hegel tenía Razón. 1989. Edit. Universidad Autónoma de México.
(La Revolución de la Razón) 1991 Edit. Sígueme. Spain.

Demonstrating his ability as an exegesist, an experienced scientist and a demanding philosopher, in this work José Porfirio Miranda initiates us into the gestation of the fundamental concepts of current thinking.

He demonstrates with rigorous logic the myth of "empirical science", which, having survived for more than 200 years now finds its scientists and intellectuals immersed in a state of confusion. By meticulously examining the basic concepts of various disciplines, he shows how Science must originate from within the same Human Being which produces it and how its objective must be the humanization of the world.

Here he arrives at the greatest discovery that man has made in his entire history: "that the Spirit is though, and thus what we call matter is that which does not think" "The Spirit is not something which is natural, but rather is only that which makes itself be"
