Abstract/Notes: MORE Abstracts 2003 In this contribution I wish to draw a parallel between Maria Montessori and a writer who is not well known in Italy: Jane Addams (Chicago 1860-1935), a Nobel Peace Prize winner in 1931, known in America and in the world above all as the founder of the Social Settlement Hull House, a residential social centre where educational and cultural activities were carried out for the inhabitants of a multicultural industrial suburb of Chicago. The parallel between the two writers focuses on their common way of considering the issue of peace, connected to the vital processes of the human being: social and, above all, educational ones. For both thinkers there is a close connection between the free and broad realisation of every individual and the construction of a better world, between means and ends, between education and a fair society, between moral and spiritual development and a real, profound, experience of freedom. Both writers were founders of alternative structures – Hull House and the Children’s Home – where the “users” could have a broader and deeper human experience, addressing a new curiosity to all levels of human life and that shows it has strong moral foundations rather than intellectual ones, as Addams wrote. And as Maria Montessori noted in her Children’s Homes: “we have seen children who completely changed, acquiring the love for things, while the sense of order, discipline and selfcontrol develop in them as an expression of perfect freedom. We have seen them work steadily, enhancing their energies in their work”. For both Maria Montessori and Jane Addams, peace was an essential theme of their reflection and their very lives, which in their later years they mostly devoted to their pacifist commitment. Their idea of peace, which they arrived at by delving deeply within themselves, cannot derive from pacifist propaganda or from mere intellectualist reasons, but can only be the fruit of a series of vital and psychic processes to be built up gradually and “scientifically” through education.
