This book is the result of years of research into the relationships between ontology and history in which the authors of the essays that comprise it were able to observe how ontology in the 20th century, in contact with wars, nuclear catastrophes, revolutions , postcolonial attacks, became an ontology of history, an ontology that thinks history, time and the present.

This group of researchers (from Mexico, Spain and the United States) was concerned with making known the liberating that Nishida, Heidegger, Deleuze, Derrida, Žižek and Jean-Luc Nancy saw as a historical orientation in the midst of darkness, and, furthermore of their approach to contemporary ontology as a discipline that thinks about the way of being of the present, they are committed to finding that which is revulsive to thought and, therefore, likely to cause a shock to the global ordering of the world.

With the specificity of philosophical thought when thinking about history and what happens, this historical ontology is a thinking that opens up the future, an exercise in resistance to the present and that is therefore philosophical resistance. Thus, this book offers the most important categories that, when thinking about history, shed light on what is not yet decided, what is new, and can influence anthropology, sociology, and political science, always attentive to the productions of new categories. on the part of philosophy.

For our collaborators, reflection on history from ontology must become a permanent and irreplaceable reflection. This book offers proposals about the structure of this era and elements of resistance; The decisive thing that it contributes is that there is no profound subversion of anything if there is no subversion of time.
