Omar Pérez Juárez (Mexico City, 1980), completed his professional studies at the Faculty of Engineering at the Universidad Panamericana. His perplexed view of reality from an early age dictates that human existence does not speak of theories or scientific explanations, nor of fields of study, but rather of essential questions as a human. That eagerness to search for answers that exposes him to the strangeness and anguish generated by the hostile presence of things directs him towards the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He combines his work life within a postmodern society in a Latin America at the beginning of the 21st century with an incessant interest in delving into questions that allow him to break into the dimension of passage, of astonishment, of discovery with the other and the totality of existence. In addition to his journey in pursuit of learning about various cultures and structures of thought, after years of work he has completed his debut work, Reflections of the Contemporary World in the Walk of a Platonic Traveler, in which he asks questions with enough force to truly elucidate the repercussion of what confronts him, the thing that resists man, the other that breaks in with violence and deconstructs him. The author demands and exhorts us to ask ourselves the question and resolve ourselves in our own nature as human beings.
