RUA-PENAGOS, Jonathan Andrés. The education of the body in fray Luis Amigo y Ferrer. Franciscanum [online]. 2017, vol.59, n.167, pp.351-376. ISSN 0120-1468.

Philosophy, rather than the repetition of concepts, is a way of living and perceiving the human being. Philosophical anthropology is the specific branch which deals with this endeavor. Christian thinkers have contributed to the development of this goal with the intention of directing the existence to the supreme good, thus covering all aspects of the person. The purpose of this research is to explore the meaning which Friar Luis Amigo gives to the education of the body in his pedagogical proposal. Methodologically, this research uses a qualitative paradigm with a historical hermeneutical approach and an exploratory and descriptive scope. It can be concluded that the education of the body in Fray Luis Amigo's thinking intends to exercise the human will, his/her customs and passions through hygienic practices which may enhance both body's and soul's health.

Palavras-chave : Education; body; Fray Luis Amigo y Ferrer; Philosophical anthropology; theology of the body.
