Summary/Abstract: Béla Pukánszky shows the history of abstract theoretical formations on childhood in his study Child Ideologies and the Theoretical History of Pedagogy. He explores the evolution of three important ideologies concerning the child, from the medieval ages to the twentieth century: a child is prone to sin, and Original sin is connected with the idea of restrictive education; while its opposite is that a child is born good and, eventually, such a child, as the bearer of a better future, will be the savior of adults.
