Traces the formation of modern knowledge in the Philippines through the lives of three pioneering Filipino intellectuals: Pedro Paterno, Trinidad Pardo de Tavera, and Isabelo de Los Reyes. Explores the historical conditions that shaped the emergence of a modern Philippine intelligentsia and the unfinished, strange and wondrous itineraries diverse intellectuals took in engaging Western knowledge and dealing with the local realities of the country from, of, and for which they tried or pretended to speak.
