I just finished reading "El positivismo y la circunstancia mexicana" by Leopoldo Zea. He analyzes Gabino Barreda's contribution to Mexican Public Education during Benito Juarez's government.
He changed the curriculum at the "Escuela Nacional Preparatoria" (National High School, Mexico City), from scholastic to positivist. This French Philosophy,Positivism, was created by August Comte. In Mexico Barreda saw a way to make it Mexican. Eventually it was the ideological basis for the emergent Mexican Bourgeoisie.
Porfirio Díaz and a group of "Científicos" led Mexico during a few years of Order and Progress, until the Mexican Revolution changed that old regime.
Gabino Barreda is the ideological father of that Mexican historic period; and Leopoldo Zea became the "authority" and Mexican Positivism.
The Huitzuco Mercury Mine that I mentioned below, was the property of Porfirio Diaz's wife, Carmelita Romero Rubio de Díaz. These "Scientists" so enraged the people of Huitzuco, that on February 28, 1911, they fought against the Diaz Army in Huitzuco, and as they say, the rest is History.
