Taking Luis De Llera’s studies on positivism in Mexico and the generation of the ‘Ateneo de la Juventud’ as a point of departure, this work proposes to extend the reflection to the Generation of 1915, also known as the generation of the “Seven Sages”; a key element to understand the evolution of Mexican thought in the 20th century. This generation has received little attention by scholars, maybe because of its place in between the golden age of the ‘ateneístas’ and the avant-garde of the ‘Contemporáneos’. This brief essay, seeks to trace a line of continuity between the ‘Ateneo de la Juventud’ and the Generation of 1915, without neglecting the elements of rupture and the differences existing between these two generations. Manuel Gómez Morin’s essay 1915 is analysed as a key text and true expression of this generation.

Abstract
Taking Luis De Llera’s studies on positivism in Mexico and the generation of the ‘Ateneo de la Juventud’ as a point of departure, this work proposes to extend the reflection to the Generation of 1915, also known as the generation of the “Seven Sages”; a key element to understand the evolution of Mexican thought in the 20th century. This generation has received little attention by scholars, maybe because of its place in between the golden age of the ‘ateneístas’ and the avant-garde of the ‘Contemporáneos’. This brief essay, seeks to trace a line of continuity between the ‘Ateneo de la Juventud’ and the Generation of 1915, without neglecting the elements of rupture and the differences existing between these two generations. Manuel Gómez Morin’s essay 1915 is analysed as a key text and true expression of this generation.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
