FAJARDO SALINAS, José Manuel et al. Positivist education from ramón rosa: horizon for the formation of the honduran imagined community. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2022, vol.14, n.6, pp. 71-84.  Epub 01-Dic-2022. ISSN 2218-3620.

This paper attempts to explore hermeneutically the educational outlook expressed by the Honduran thinker Ramón Rosa in the text entitled Speech at the opening of the Central University of Honduras, 1882. Thanks to an examination guided by an analysis scheme divided into three philosophical dimensions, it is determined from the author's scientific positivist register, a series of identity traits that show the citizen profile that the Honduran Liberal Reform of the late nineteenth century, sought to install in its population. It was understood at that time that the educational road, both in its design and in its managers and protagonists, would be the ideal route to achieve the quotas of order and progress that the country needed to reach. Together with the definition of the identity traits of nationality, this study offers an incipient discussion of how the education proposed from the nineteenth-century positivist perspective can be critically evaluated. Thus, we consider how its presence and influence, with its virtualities and limits, can have ambivalent effects on the human development of Honduran citizens, which calls into question its relevance for formative modeling of the contemporary national community.
