Synopsis

Jesuit Education: Its History and Principles, viewed through modern educational problems, offers a rigorous look at how Jesuit schooling shaped learning across centuries. This non-fiction work surveys the origins, evolution, and key methods of the Jesuit curriculum, balancing historical detail with analysis of contemporary questions in education.

The book argues for careful use of original sources and situates the Ratio Studiorum within broader debates about electives, classics, and moral training. It also charts the system’s influence before and after suppression, and in the nineteenth century, highlighting both its strengths and the criticisms it faced from various quarters. Written for readers with an interest in educational history, reform, and philosophy, it combines documentary evidence with thoughtful evaluation of what worked and why.

- Learn how the Ratio Studiorum organized studies, teachers, and classroom practices.
- Understand the book’s treatment of classical languages, sciences, geography, and mother-tongue education.
- See how Jesuit education intersected with broader reforms, rival systems, and religious instruction.
- Explore the arguments for and against prescribed curricula and elective studies.

Ideal for students, educators, and history readers who want a detailed, source-grounded view of a major educational tradition.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Jesuit Education: Its History and Principles Viewed in the Light of Modern Educational Problems

Mr. Quick, the English educationist, asserts that "since the Revival of Learning, no body of men has played so important a part in education as the Jesuits." And yet, as the same author says, "about these Jesuit schools there does not seem to be much information accessible to the English reader." (Educational Reformers, pp. 33 - 34.)It is true, indeed, that during the past few years much has been said and written about the Jesuit schools; in fact, they have occupied the attention of the public more, perhaps, than ever before. However, with the exception of the excellent book of Father Thomas Hughes, S. J. (Loyola and the Educational System of the Jesuits, 1892), most of what has been offered to American and English readers is entirely untrustworthy. The account given of the Jesuit system in Histories of Education used in this country, as those of Compayre, Painter, and Seeley, is a mere caricature. Instead of drawing from the original sources, these authors have been content to repeat the biased assertions of unreliable secondary authorities. Some observations on American Histories of Education will be found at the end of this book (p. 649 sqq.). The publication of a new work on the educational system of the Jesuits may be justified at the present day.
