La enseñanza de la historia de la filosofía medieval. Una experiencia de veinticinco años

Abstract

According to the mood of the present volume -homage and personal gratitude for a celebrated medievalist-, this article is strictly personal but its contents are still very academic. It gathers up the experience of the autor in his 25 years as professor of «History of medieval Philosophy». He started the dedication a bit by chance in 1978, with students of the first years after the ending of Franco national-catholicism, whose attitude was of allergy and prevention from everything christian or religious. Since several years, on the contrary, the students attitude towards medieval things shows an interest and curiosity inconceivable 25 years ago. The autor acknowledges that these changes have not made him alter the contents of his teaching (they are always the same and must be given) but he explains the different way of explaining the subject along the years arose from the diverse sociocultural situation and the consequent students attitude.
