Regeneración educativa y cultural de la España moderna: reformas monárquicas en educación y el papel de los obispos de la ilustración en el siglo XVIII

Abstract

In the 18th century the church of Spain gradually diminished its extensive powers of self-government, while remaining the monopoly of education. This period was marked by the monarchical revival and the alliance between church and State. The crown nominates diocesan bishops and the church of Spain is committed to the goal of a renewed and modern nation. The 18th century saw the rise of an enlightenment Bishops movement, with its emphasis on the recovery of the Spanish catholic tradition, and the renaissance of the educational and cultural institutions.
