Abdel Hernández San Juan, American theorist and thinker of Cuban origin who has developed a return of contemporary thought towards the most abstract classical philosophy (Kant, Hegel), while retheorizing the science of semiotics back to logic and exploring new intersections between abstract classical philosophy in a phenomenological and hermeneutic sense, logic (Hegel, Husserl), etc., phenomenological sociology (Alfred Schutz), semiotics of art and culture and cultural anthropology. Very abstract thinker of hard sciences (metatheory and metaempiria), empirically specialized in language sciences, theoretical linguistics (Ferdinand de Saussure, Roman Jakobson, Louis Hjelmslev, Emile Benveniste, etc.), semiotic theory (Charles Sanders Peirce) and in philosophy and theory of art, he has focused on the interdisciplinary development of the new field of anthropology and art, developing it both from the perspective of social sciences, linguistic anthropology, theory of culture, urban and rural sociology, as well as art interpretation and criticism, (art semiotics and cultural anthropology).
