Los Siete Sabios de México

Los Siete Sabios de México ("The Seven Sages of Mexico") is a 1950 work of biography by Mexican writer and politician Luis Calderón Vega.

The "Seven Sages" were the founding members of Mexico City's "Society for Conferences and Concerts" (Sociedad de Conferencias y Conciertos), which was founded in 1916 to promote greater cultural awareness among university students. These individuals were also known as the "Generation of 1915". Despite using it as his title, Calderón did not coin the term "Seven Sages" in reference to them: it was first applied to them during their university days. It was a reference to the Seven Sages of Greece of antiquity.

In his book, Calderón Vega provides biographies of the following figures:
