Abstract

La política reformista de los Ilustrados españoles no podía mantenerse al margen de la crisis que vivían las Universidades, siendo éstas la escala superior del sistema educativo; esto es algo extensible al reinado de Carlos IV, que fue un epílogo de la Ilustración también en este aspecto. El estudio de Narciso de Heredia —un catedrático de la Universidad de Granada al que Godoy menciona con orgullo en sus Memorias—, como alumno, colegial, filósofo y profesor nos servirá de ejemplo para mostrar una carrera universitaria en época de Carlos IV, un camino siempre marcado por los éxitos y los fracasos de las reformas. As it is known that the main preoccupation of the Enlightenment politicians was education, the same can be applied to the eighteenth century spanish ministers. If we accept that Charles the Fourth's reign is an epilogue of the spanish enlightenment, we will suppose that university reformations continued under his period. Narciso de Heredia was a university professor (in Granada) who has been mentioned as an example of his government's goodness by Godoy (the Royal couple's “favourite”). A study of Heredia as alumnus, collegian and teacher shows how a university career could be in times of Charles the Fourth. It also gives a practical and concrete vision of the political reforms' implementation.
