Cosmic Education, A Montessori Sourcebook On The Child Aged 6 To 12

This publication brings together a cohesive body of work from primary sources on Cosmic Education. It is the most complete compilation of primary sources, spanning about four decades. It brings into one volume newly published lectures, rare or out-of-print articles, and carefully selected excerpts from widely available publications, turning dispersed quotations into a usable archive. It is not a revision of Cosmic Education but it is a transmission and practical unfolding. As Maria Montessori noted: All of what we have just suggested is, in reality, only an example for the application of the method. But we would like to help the child to reach loftier conceptions. What must first be understood is our aim, which is to follow as nearly as possible, as all-inclusively as possible, the needs of growth and of life.
