In addition to her professorial duties Yamuni earned a medical degree in 1973. She is currently a full-time Professor of Philosophy and a practising physician. She is a leading authority on the thought of one of the most influential figures in twentieth-century philosophy in Mexico, José Gaos (1900-1969), with whom she studied. Yamuni’s work on Gaos analyses his role as a ‘transplanted' Spanish philosopher who was exiled after the fall of Republican Spain, his concept of the person, his interpretation of the history of philosophy and his metaphysics. In addition to her books Yamuni has published more than forty articles on philosophy, the role of women in society and the Arab world.
