Humanism Begets Good Order: Alfonso Reyes and Police Thought (September-December 1939)

REA Auditado

It is common knowledge that the Mexican state took an enduring turn toward political and cultural conservatism as a result of the 1940 presidential elections. In this essay I examine the underlying tenets of Mexican humanism and its relation to the history of the mass uprisings of the Mexican revolution in the months prior to that turn. In particular, I analyze the work of Alfonso Reyes in its relation to the exercise of sovereign will and the orienting of the past.
