The main objective of this paper is to investigate the relationship between Max Weber’s concept of the disenchantment of the world and the modern occidental education during the Protestant Reformation. The analysis of his concept and its relationship with protestant education allowed for several final considerations. Among other things, it was verified that the disenchantment of the world, at the beginning of its process of rationalization, is closely related to the education oriented by the Reformation, considering that the Protestant Educational System, besides giving priority to the human rationalism to interpret the divine principles, without the interference of the clergy, rejected any knowledge or attitude which supported, or even suggested any kind of relation to magic, sorcery, witchcraft, superstitions, beliefs, the dogmatism and the traditions of the Catholic Church. And so a new formalist educational practice is adopted.

Keywords : Disenchantment of the World; Modern Education; History of Education.
