Summary "Pedagogical Anthropology" by Maria Montessori is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the intersection of anthropology and pedagogy, aiming to establish a new educational philosophy based on the scientific study of human development. The text suggests a methodical approach to understanding individuals in an educational context, focusing on their physiological, psychological, and social characteristics. The beginning of the volume outlines Montessori's intent to define a new domain within anthropology that directly serves educational purposes. She emphasizes the importance of understanding human biology and variations to enhance pedagogical methods and improve education systems. In the preface, Montessori describes her lectures at the University of Rome, which form the foundation of the work, highlighting the crucial connection between scientific discovery and educational reform. She underscores the necessity of developing a science that can foster the improvement and moral evolution of humanity, thus framing education as an essential tool for societal transformation.
