González work inspired Nadaism, a literary and cultural movement founded by Gonzalo Arango and some other writers, poets and painters that surrounded him.

He was born seven years after the new political agreement of a more conservative constitution (1888) that gave great influence to the Catholic Church in Colombian society, especially in the education of future generations.

In 1915 he became a member of Los Panidas, a group of sceptics, with León de Greiff, Ricardo Rendón, Félix Mejía Arango, Libardo Parra Toro, José Manuel Mora Vásquez and Eduardo Vasco, among other young writers, artists and intellectuals.

From those visits he got the inspiration to one of his most popular books, Viaje a pie (Journey on Foot), published in 1929, but banned by the Archbishop of Medellín under the penalty of mortal sin.

About that work Manuel Ugarte wrote a letter to him from Nice saying: "When your book arrived I had at the moment the visit of Gabriela Mistral and we read with delight some chapters.

Those notes were the origin of his work El hermafrodita dormido (The Sleeping Hermaphrodite), a book with his experiences in the classic art museums of Italy.

[4] In 1935 the Arturo Zapata Printing Press of Manizales published his "El Remordimiento" (The Remorse), an essay in theology written in Marsella (France) and Letters to Estanislao Zuleta.

The former president of Ecuador, José María Velasco Ibarra, who was exiled in Colombia, visited González in Bucarest Villa in 1936 and they became very good friends.

[5] In that year died in Madrid the Venezuelan novelist Teresa de la Parra with whom González had been friends since 1930 when she visited him in Envigado.

It was also the year of Los negroides publication, an essay on New Granada (Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador), saying that it is the only American region where the merger of races will create an original culture for a unified man.

[5] He started in 1940 the construction of his house in Envigado that at that time he called La huerta del alemán (The Garden of the German), but the World War II would make him to change the name for Otraparte (Other Place).

The villa was designed with architect Carlos Obregón, engineer Félix Mejía Arango and painter Pedro Nel Gómez.

In Otraparte he received the American playwright Thornton Wilder to whom he dedicated his work El maestro de escuela (The School Teacher).

"[6]In June 1949, after El Bogotazo, González wrote in the edition of his Antioquia Magazine: "The Colombian people is above its class director; this one does not exist, but it is the cross-eyed abortion of what they call here university.

His friend Thornton Wilder and Jean-Paul Sartre asked to include his name in the list of candidates to the Nobel Prize in Literature of 1955 and two times he was nominated.

In 2006 President Álvaro Uribe approved Law 1068 to exalt the memory, life and work of the philosopher Fernando González and declared Otraparte Home Museum, in Envigado, as a national patrimony.

He criticized what he called the Latin American vanity that was without substance and invited to express the personality with energy, giving to life the highest value.

[9] González thought his time as the decadence of the principle of freedom and individualism for an action of flocks following calves to worship (Adolf Hitler, Benito Mussolini).
