Resumen

CASTELFRANCO, Diego. Fervor and disillusionment. The young Félix Frías as a -Christian- radicaldemocrat. Prismas [online]. 2019, vol.23, n.1, pp.32-51. ISSN 1852-0499.

This article analyzes the writings and early public trajectory of Félix Frías at the end of the 1830s and the beginning of the 1840s. Although he shared the same political language of his generational colleagues, he differed from other individuals such as Alberdi and Echeverría in two respects: he emphasized the pre-eminence of -christian- religion over philosophy and eluded, at first, the appeal to a tutelage system in which an intellectual elite considered that it needed to “educate” the people before they could exercise their political rights. While exiled in Bolivia, on the other hand, he conserved his political language but began to manifest an ideological turn: after having defended a kind of radical democratic ideal, influenced by Lamennais, he instead came to consider that a strong state should guarantee the social order so that an intellectual elite could “civilize” the population and lead it towards democracy.

Palabras clave : Félix Frías; Joven Generación; Argentina; Christianity; 19th century.
