Abstract

The educational thought of Thomas has an evergreen freshness, which played an important role in the pedagogical personalism of the twentieth century. Pius XI, in Divini illius magistri (1929), mentions him as an authority; pedagogists such as Casotti, Nosengo and Corallo build their own reflection based on the thought of Thomas. The view of the human person as a centre of spiritual activity, placed on the horizon between the bodily and incorporeal substances, represents the metaphysical foundation of human education.
