520    <P>This innovative monograph is of major significance for 
       not only students and academics undertaking research on 
       the history of Mexico during the long dictatorship of 
       Porfirio Díaz, but also scholars specializing in the 
       history of ideas, philosophy and science. Unlike previous 
       discussions of positivism in Latin America, this book 
       presents a detailed analysis of the English thinker, 
       Herbert Spencer’s original works as a necessary gateway 
       into the discussion of the thinking of 'The Scientists'. 
       Its principal purpose is to revisit the influential thesis
       of Leopoldo Zea which proposed that 'The Scientists' 
       throughout this period were Spencerian positivists.</p><p>
       This book offers a revisionist analysis of the original 
       papers of 'The Scientists', Francisco Bulnes and Justo 
       Sierra, as well as their political and philosophical ideas
       and activities. This analysis demonstrates that their 
       eclectic discourses used the ideas of the American Social 
       Darwinists, and those from Spencer, Darwin, August Comte, 
       andother European writers, concluding that 'The 
       Scientists' lacked a clear leader and had an ambivalent 
       relationship with Díaz. It interprets 'The Scientists' not
       as 'heroes' or 'villains', but as men struggling to 
       appropriate European philosophical advances into their 
       quest to modernise Mexico.</p>
