Abstract

The work deals with the different problems that afflict the administration of New Spain, which here are indicated as diseases that afflict the political body and that must be purged by means of remedies that are coherent for each evil. A reading is developed in a utopian key, which raises the possibility that Villarroel's project to improve New Spain society opens a "textual space" of utopian dimensions, in which the author configures a particular utopia. illustrated American Catholic, based in order, morality and categorization of people.
