Philosophical Dialogues 

Philosophical Dialogues is a series of volumes initiated by Abdel Hernandez San Juan as part of his theoretical work that began in Houston, Texas, 1997 through a famous and foundational philosophical dialogue held by Abdel Hernandez San Juan and the American anthropologist Stephen A Tyler , titled Evocation: A Philosophical Dialogue, the dialogue was initially composed of two essays written by both thinkers written in the form of letters addressed to each other about the concept of evocation, continued later in 1998 in the form of oral philosophical dialogues developed and recorded in the department of anthropology at rice university with the co-participation of surpik angelini and quetzil eugenio castañeda, among others, and subsequently continued colloquially over decades until 2014 in the form of email correspondence between both theorists

In more recent years, since 2023, Abdel Hernandez San Juan decided to expand his series of philosophical dialogues to new volumes, enriching its development through the participation of other theorists and thinkers, resulting in the compendia Counterpoints: Philosophical Dialogues.
