With the help of various generations of Spanish and English speaking philosophers, Crítica has contributed significantly in establishing the analytic tradition especially in the Spanish speaking world. It was founded by Alejandro Rossi, Fernando Salmerón and Luis Villoro in 1967. Crítica has published contributions by such distinguished philosophers as Carlos Alchourrón, G.E.M. Anscombe, David Armstrong, Eugenio Bulygin, Héctor-Neri Castañeda, Hilary Putnam, W.V.O. Quine and Peter Strawson, among others.
