| Sumario: | The History of Education encompasses the understanding of individual formation aimed at life in community, considering the pedagogical, cultural, and social processes that shape individuals over time. From bourgeois and artisans to rulers and nobles, the act of educating has always occupied a central place in Western thought, revealing itself as an instrument of personal transformation and social stability. In this context, the education of leaders and rulers stood out as one of the most sensitive and strategic fields of educational practice. It was within this framework that Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466–1536), one of the main exponents of Renaissance humanism, wrote The Education of a Christian Prince in 1516, dedicating his work to the young Emperor Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire (1500–1558). The text belongs to the tradition of the so-called “mirrors for princes,” a literary genre aimed at the moral and political instruction of rulers. This article analyzes how Erasmus, acting as Charles's advisor, sought to guide the formation of a sovereign committed to effective governance, grounded in the principles of Christian humanism. The work emphasizes clear pedagogical intentions, an ideal of comprehensive pacifism, and leadership guided by love, a sense of community, and charity—values central to the teachings of Christ and essential for the construction of a more just and balanced society. |
