ABSTRACT

Luther’s Reformation was not simply restricted to the reformation of churches, but involved the reformation of the general social systems, with a special emphasis on ‘educational reformation.’ This study particularly concerns one of his elaborate efforts for educational reformation: the curriculum reorganization of German universities, including University of Halle-Wittenberg. This study will also focus on Philip Melanchton, called ‘Praeceptor Germaniae (teacher of Germany),’ who played a leading role together with Luther in the Reformation and education. Based on this analysis, this research compares Reformers with Martha Nussbaum as it focuses on her educational viewpoint which emphasizes the incessant reading and learning of humanistic texts and works in that they are similar each others as such that they are of one accord in thinking that education should not be limited to a personal dimension but be oriented to community, and that education should be the activities of listening to and learning the truth with struggle and agony and unceasing sharing. In light of the education intended by the reformers of 500 years ago, this paper reconsiders the necessity of the education that pursues ‘what needs to be learned,’ rather than ‘what must be done’ or ‘what can be done.’
