Book: Citizen of the world – Maria Montessori

The citizen of the world – key Montessori readings soft cover book from the Montessori series, volume 14, is written by Maria Montessori and published by Montessori-Pierson Publishing Company. The book offers the reader a selection of essential lectures and articles written during the last 25 years of Dr. Montessori’s life; they show the maturity of her ideas on human development, with an acute awareness of society’s shortcomings that thwart the human potential.

The articles contained in the book discuss the implications of her discoveries for moral and social life; her evolved understanding of the four stages of development from birth through early adulthood. And through four lectures delivered at the 8th International Congress in San Remo, Italy, 1949, Montessori bring us her own brilliant summary of a life-time of work. Maria Montessori never swerved from one of her main messages: the need for a radical transformation in education to ultimately improve society as a whole.
