DE BRAVO DELORME, Cristián Alejandro. A philosophical criterion of educational guidance from the idea of wit by Juan Huarte. Franciscanum [online]. 2021, vol.63, n.176, pp.6-6.  Epub 09-Nov-2021. ISSN 0120-1468.  https://doi.org/10.21500/01201468.4818.

The following paper offers an analysis of the idea of wit according to Juan Huarte in order to construct a philosophic criterion that guides the individual to choose the science that best corresponds to them. This criterion is based on the determination of the different types of wit for the sciences and, according to Huarte, it is not guide by likes or wishes of the individual, but by the natural propensities objectified by the exercised capacities. In contrast to a psychologic perspective, Huarte’s criterion represents an approach based on philosophic ideas, which are deemed within a system of thought that coordinates the intellectual faculties in relation to the sciences, arts and techniques corresponding to the different types of wits.

Palabras clave : Huarte; ingenuity; orientation; education; philosophy.
