JALIF DE BERTRANOU, Clara Alicia. More than an Epistolary Relation: Francisco Romero, Edgar S. Brightman and the American Personalism. Cuyo [online]. 2012, vol.29, n.2, pp.133-160. ISSN 1853-3175.

Within the unpublished epistolary collection of Francisco Romero, this work analyses the letters that were exchanged with the personalist philosopher Edgar S. Brightman (1884-1953), and it also refers to others representative philosophers inside the American Personalist movement. The hypothesis is that both maintain a mutual interest for these ideas during World War II until the beginnings of the so called Cold War. It also refers to the purpose of both correspondents to come closer American and Latin American philosophy. The letters in the collection were written between 1939 and 1952. This paper includes as appendix the obituary authored by José Vasconcelos about Brightman to show that his philosophy was of interest in other Latin American countries.
