William of Conches’ De doctrina: a Scholastic Synthesis on Philosophy of Education
Abstract
The Cathedral School of Chartres, during the XIIth Century retrieved a fertile tradition ofscientific and humanistic studies. And with that it retained and articulated notion of education,which it inherited from classical antiquity. Thanks to this heritage, the notion of education waskept encyclopedic and flexible to its public. William of Conches, teacher at Chartres, wrote inhis encyclopedic treatise Dragmaticon, a section devoted to the nature of education,postumously called De doctrina. In this paper is offered an introduction study on the text, itsproposal of education and its elements, as well as a translation into Spanish.References
