Abstract

Between the end of the 19th century and the beginning of the 20th, three locals of Aguascalientes, Mr. Teodosio Lares, lawyer; Mr. Jesús Díaz de León, physician, and Mr. Ezequiel A. Chavez, also a lawyer, published written works that, seen through the eyes of the present, have had a great importance in the dissemination of the academic contents that form the core content of academic psychology, and that would ease the understanding and eventual implementation of this science in Mexico. The purpose of this article is to give a summary of the contributions of these pioneers of the Mexican psychology and a comparison of the way in which each of them conceived this discipline from the standing point of their knowledge and their religious beliefs.
