The uruguayan society has very often tended to consensuate throughout its history over an idyllic auto-perception of its country. However, there has been another tradition of critical thought that has emphasized on a militant reply over that notion. Among those who were in this perspective, perhaps no one has been more prominent than Alberto Methol Ferre (1929–2009). His importance has reciently become more noticeable due to the 50th anniversary of his most representative work, “Uruguay as a problem”. The following text offers a guideline to deepen into the roots of his political and intelectual identity. On that direction, some features of the context are presented –both personal and general– so as to then immerse with more specificity into the knowledge of its author, as well as to comprehend the genesis of his classical book, published in 1967 for the first time. Resumen La sociedad uruguaya ha tendido a consensuar a menudo a lo largo de su historia una autopercepcion idilica sobre su pais. Sin embargo, ha existido otra tradicion de pensamiento critico que hizo foco en la replica militante a esa nocion. Entre quienes podrian integrarse en esa perspectiva, tal vez ninguno haya sido mas emblematico que Alberto Methol Ferre. (1929–2009) Ello se ha vuelto mas visible al cumplirse en 2017 el cincuentenario de su obra mas representativa, “El Uruguay como problema”. En el siguiente texto se ofrece una hoja de ruta para profundizar en torno a las raices de su identidad politica e intelectual. En esa direccion, se presentan primero algunas claves de contexto –tanto general como personal– para ingresar luego con mayor especificidad en el conocimiento de su autor y en la comprension de la genesis de su clasico libro, editado por primera vez en 1967.

De la “Suiza de América” al “Uruguay como problema”. La génesis del pensamiento de Alberto Methol Ferré
