Descrição: While the association between education and physical correction is amply attested across medieval culture, what is less immediately obvious is why one should be thought to support the other. As Rebecca Bushnell observes, the belief that "if one spares the rod the results will be disastrous" is pervasive and conspicuous, but the question, "what was corporal punishment meant to accomplish," is harder to resolve. Here, Parsons seeks to clarify this issue for the late Middle Ages. It will consider the matter in terms of the functions that were ascribed to beating. His focus are the rationales developed by late medieval pedagogues, educational theorists, and other commentators. Flogging were considered less as a purely habitual, unquestioned element in instruction and more as a technique that stimulated debate and rationalization.
