Studies on Early Modern Education
Series: - History of Early Modern Educational Thought, Volume: 9
A key concept underpinning many educational models of the modern era, the notion of âpersonâ stands at the center of this bookâs inquiry. This collection of studies traces the philosophical emergence and development of this concept at the dawn of modernity, a period marked by profound intellectual, religious, and cultural transformations. Through a sustained dialogue with major philosophers and influential educators, the volume reconstructs how the idea of the person came to shape early modern educational theory and practice. By situating pedagogical reflection within its broader philosophical horizon, the book illuminates the enduring significance of âpersonâ for contemporary debates in education.
