The intellectual, moral and political education of Gilbert Keith Chesterton's thought
Abstract
The importance of Chesterton is fundamental for English Catholicism, which has caused his work to have been studied in various fields, among which educational theory is not counted. Consequently, the objective of this article is to study the fundamental areas of an educational theory that can be analyzed as properly Chestertonian. For this, a hermeneutical methodology is used that 1) analyzes the human dimensions that are likely to be educated as they appear in the thought of the English journalist to achieve 2) establish properly Chestertonian guidelines regarding intellectual, moral and political education. In the end, the reconstruction of a historically significant thought is achieved, the contribution of argumentative nuclei that can contribute to developing current educational theories related to liberal education and religious education.
