This second edition of the prize pays tribute to Juan de Espinosa Medrano (1629–1688), regarded as the first Peruvian philosopher of Indigenous origin to write a treatise on philosophy and logic in South America: Philosophia Thomistica (Rome, c. 1688), written in Latin. Espinosa Medrano was also a literary critic, playwrighter, and professor, educated at the Seminary of San Antonio Abad, an institution that would later become the National University of San Antonio Abad of Cusco (UNSAAC).
