Biography
Serrano was a supporter of the thought of the German philosopher Karl Christian Friedrich Krause, developing his own strand, called krausopositivismo (Krausian positivism) by the commentator Adolfo Posada. A disciple of Nicolás Salmerón, he often acted as a substitute to fill this mentor's Chair in Metaphysics at the Universidad Central in Madrid. He was also a pioneering investigator in a number of fields, particularly applied sociology and psychology. As an educator he placed emphasis on the knowledge of physical mechanisms in the rational learning process. He translated works from the German, and co-edited an edition of the poetry of Ramón de Campoamor
