L’educazione nelle prime regole monastiche. Spunti di riflessione a partire da un recente contributo

Abstract

This work intends to propose some historiographical reflections on the role of the first monastic rules in the educational field starting from the contents of a recent volume by Luca Odini. In particular, we focus on the role of monasticism which is interpreted not only as a spiritual or institutional phenomenon, but as a structured educational experience, capable of offering a systematic response to the search for meaning and order that runs through man’s existence.
