Vol 9: The Advanced Montessori Method – I

In The Advanced Montessori Method, volume I, previously entitled Spontaneous Activity in Education, Maria Montessori presents her educational philosophy and methods. Dr. Montessori asserted that nothing should be imposed on the child. Indeed, the aim throughout was to appeal to the child’s curiosity and to reveal the immense potentiality of the child’ which, she argued, was a tremendous energy which had, to a large extent, been ignored. In this volume, Dr. Montessori surveys the child’s psychical health, freedom and spirit, and considers such phenomena as intelligence, attention, imagination and will.
