Formación general y educación en Hegel

Abstract

Hegel does not write about education specifically, nevertheless there are in his opus ideas or comentaries about education or even the pedagogy of his time. Some of this comentaries are conected with the key concept of "formation" (Bildung). Hegel understands the path of conscience, from the sensory experience to absolute knowledge, as a kind of formation. This path imposes some restrictions of pedagogical character. If we pay attention to this restrictions, then we can find a solid conservative thinker, deeply opposed to enlightened pedagogy.
