Abstract/Notes: Wie unter einem Brennglas beleuchtet dieses Buch den langen Schatten der weltweit berühmten Maria Montessori. Es rückt ihr Denken in einen bislang weitestgehend verdrängten aber gegenwärtig (erneut) höchst aktuellen Zusammenhang von Eugenik, Rassentheorie und Optimierungsstreben. Als Maria Montessori (1870-1952) im Jahre 1915 den Besuchern der "Panama-Pacific International Exposition" in San Francisco die stillen und diszipliniert arbeitenden "Montessori-Kinder" in einem gläsernen show-room präsentierte, war die italienische Ärztin und Biologin auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Karriere angelangt. Zusammen mit den Eugenikern und Rasseideologen ihrer Zeit demonstrierte sie der fortschrittsgläubigen Welt die Möglichkeiten einer erziehungs- und biotechnologischen Erschaffung des "neuen Messias". Gut 100 Jahre später holen die Fortschritte auf den Feldern der Gen- und Reproduktionstechnologie Maria Montessoris biopolitische Visionen eines "Ministry of the Race" (1951) und ihren lebenslangen Traum vom perfekten Kind ein. Wie unter einem Brennglas beleuchtet dieses Buch den langen Schatten der weltweit berühmten Maria Montessori und rückt ihr Denken in einen bislang weitestgehend verdrängten aber gegenwärtig (erneut) höchst aktuellen Zusammenhang von Eugenik, Rassentheorie und Optimierungsstreben. [As if under a magnifying glass, this book illuminates the long shadow of the world-famous Maria Montessori. It places their thinking in a hitherto largely repressed but currently (again) highly topical context of eugenics, racial theory and the pursuit of optimization. When Maria Montessori (1870-1952) presented the quiet and disciplined working "Montessori children" to visitors to the "Panama-Pacific International Exposition" in San Francisco in 1915 in a glass showroom, the Italian doctor and biologist was there reached the peak of her career. Together with the eugenicists and racial ideologists of her time, she demonstrated to the progressive world the possibilities of creating the "new messiah" through education and biotechnology. A good 100 years later, advances in the fields of genetic and reproductive technology are catching up with Maria Montessori's biopolitical visions of a "Ministry of the Race" (1951) and her lifelong dream of the perfect child. As if under a magnifying glass, this book illuminates the long shadow of the world-famous Maria Montessori and places her thinking in a hitherto largely suppressed but currently (again) highly relevant context of eugenics, racial theory and the pursuit of optimization.]

Abstract/Notes: L’opera di Maria Montessori è da tempo al centro di un vasto movimento di interesse internazionale, attualmente in ulteriore espansione, all’interno del quale è possibile cogliere direzioni di ricerca e linee di dibattito di notevole interesse, sia sul piano teorico, sia su quello più propriamente applicativo. Il volume presenta un quadro aggiornato della ricerca teorica e sperimentale sulla pedagogia montessoriana finalizzato a far emergere le dimensioni applicative meno esplorate dell’opera della pedagogista italiana. Il Centro di Studi Montessiani (Cesmon), costituito presso il Dipartimento di Scienze dell’Educazione dell’Università Roma Tre, sviluppa linee sistematiche di ricerca finalizzate sia alla raccolta e all’analisi di dati relativi alle applicazioni della pedagogia montessoriana, sia alla organizzazione di fonti e di documenti utili all’approfondimento delle conoscenze su di essa. Il Centro realizza iniziative di carattere scientifico e didattico rivolte agli studenti della Facoltà di Scienze della Formazione, agli insegnanti, agli studiosi interessati. Da due anni cura la realizzazione di un Corso di perfezionamento post lauream che si propone di approfondire le prospettive culturali e curriculari della pedagogia montessoriana nei contesti istituzionali attuali.

Abstract/Notes: This paper aims to offer the first results of a research, still in progress, on the philosophical dimension of Maria Montessori's perspective, to broaden the understanding of the assumptions and objectives she set out to achieve through her Method. In particular, the article will be devoted to the exposition and recomposition of the main elements of Montessori's reflection on the socio-political dimension, during the last thirty years of her life, known as the ‘new horizon’. After exposing the teleological assumptions of the ‘Cosmic Plan’, derived from the rethinking of biological and geological notions, it will be shown that Montessori applies to nature’s ‘unity of method’ both to the process of psychophysical development of the human individual and to the configurations of social organization, orienting both towards ever greater and firmer cohesion. Starting from the discourses on the human creation of a ‘supernature’, which reveals the interdependence between all peoples (indeed, united in a ‘Unique Nation’), the essay will analyse the features of the new morality which, according to Montessori, will mark the ‘new world’ created by the child, normally developed through a free and natural adaptation to the new social conditions, in the context of technological civilization, the ‘new man will recognize the connection with all the beings of ‘creation’ and he will assume his responsibility for the care of fellow human beings and of the whole planet, fulfill the mission the cosmic plan has assigned to humanity.

Abstract/Notes: María Montessori is one of the most remembered authors of the Active Education. His works have been an important reference for the production of discourse in education and pedagogy in the last century. However, despite its relevance, the work of the Italian has had appropriations that, in many cases, do not coincide with her pedagogical principles, her philosophical foundations, or her conception of the child. This paper proposes a direct review of some of his works, located at different moments of his intellectual production, in order to discuss some of his concepts and ideas.
