Abstract
Firstly, this article analyses Mario Bunge’s journal Minerva (Buenos Aires, 1944-1945) in order to recover the highly critical diagnosis of Argentine philosophical studies against which the journal intended to intervene. However, against them, the journal was far from having a concrete theoretical proposal. For this reason, secondly, this article analyses the series of articles published throughout its six issues and the discussions they initiated, above all from there it describes its net-work of cultural and political contacts, linked both to writers close to the Unión Democrática and to young socialists and communists. Third-ly, the article stresses that these were the cultural contacts that, once the journal was closed, gave rise to the informal extra-university meetings that constituted the Círculo Filosófico de Buenos Aires, which func-tioned between 1945 and 1956 outside the university environment and which, together with Minerva, became fundamental platforms for the introduction of analytical philosophy in Argentina.
