Abstract
Este artículo explora los orígenes institucionales de la Filosofía de la Educación en España a través de la figura de Juan Zaragüeta, primer profesor de esta disciplina en los años treinta en la universidad española. Formado, en parte, en el Instituto Superior de Filosofía de Lovaina, éste vino a representar un vínculo de continuidad, tempranamente truncado, entre los dos
mundos en que se desarrolló la institucionalización de la pedagogía antes y después del corte que supuso la guerra civil española. El artículo analiza la presencia de los cursos de Filosofía de la Educación de Zaragüeta en la Sección de Pedagogía de la Universidad de Madrid y la conversión de su contenido en Pedagogía Fundamental. Argumenta que en la base de esta identificación está la renovación de la filosofía tomista y la visión sintética del conocimiento, auspiciada por el cardenal Mercier, que Zaragüeta había vivido en Lovaina, y que, a la larga, le llevará a caracterizar la pedagogía como ciencia social.
This paper looks at the institutional origins of the Philosophy of Education in Spain through the study of Juan Zaragüeta, first Professor of this discipline in the thirties in the Spanish universities. Zaragüeta was trained in part at the Higher Institute of Philosophy at Louvain. He represented a link of continuity between the two worlds in which the institutionalization of pedagogy took place before and after the gap of the Spanish civil war. Nevertheless, the continuity was early truncated. The paper analyzes the presence of the courses of Philosophy of Education taught by Zaragüeta at the Section of Pedagogical Studies of the University of Madrid, and the conversion of their content into Fundamental Pedagogy. The authors argue that the basis of this identification was the revival of Thomistic philosophy and synthetic view of knowledge promoted by Cardinal Mercier, that Zaragüeta experienced in Leuven and led him to characterize pedagogy as a social science.
