Maria Tecla Artemisia Montessori (August 31, 1870 – May 6, 1952), best known for her contribution to education and for the Philosophy of education that bears her name, was also a well-acclaimed science nurturer, psychiatrist, feminist and played an indispensable role in politics too. Montessori’s career has been a mix and match of different role where she engaged herself besides imparting education. The efficacy of this paper would be to peek into Maria Montessori’s career and inspect her role as a feminist, scientist, psychiatrist and study her social contributions. This paper is also an attempt and endeavour to seek into the relevance of Montessori today. KEYWORDS: Montessori as A Scientist, Montessori as A Psychiatrist, Montessori as A Feminist, Montessori’s Relevance Today

Objectivism, the libertarian philosophy established by Ayn Rand during the postwar years, has attracted a great deal of attention from philosophers, political scientists, economists, and English professors alike in recent years, but it hasn’t received much notice from historians with an interest in education. This article will address that problem by discussing how Rand and her followers established a philosophy of education during the 1960s and 1970s that was based, in part, on vilifying the so-called collectivist ideas of John Dewey and lionizing the so-called individualist ideas of Maria Montessori. Unfortunately, the narrative that emerged during this time seriously misrepresented the ideas of both Dewey and Montessori, resulting in a somewhat distorted view of both educators

L'articolo mira ad analizzare alcuni fra i principi cardine del pensiero di Maria Montessori combinandoli creativamente con uno dei tracciati psicoanalitici delineati da Bruno Bettelheim ne Il mondo incantato (1976). Il confronto fra le due matrici teoriche - l'una declinata sul versante della crescita infantile e a misura di bambino, l'altra sul crinale del rapporto fra la realtà esperita dal bambino stesso e la sua realtà inconscia - fornisce un quadro prospettico e di analisi altamente funzionale all'educazione e alla cura della primissima infanzia. L'autrice, per questa via, disegna percorsi di umanazione dello sviluppo infantile lumeggiando la strada impervia, ma del tutto priva di biforcazioni, dell'incontro possibile e plausibile fra il montessoriano dato di realtà e l'irrinunciabile immaginazione infantile tematizzata dallo psicoanalista. Attraverso la pratica dell'affabulare, dove fantasia e realtà si fondono ma non per questo si confondono, l'autrice propone percorsi di sensibilizzazione precoce all'oggetto-libro (magico e, al contempo, reale) ad appannaggio di un'educazione che sappia porsi in ascolto di un'ulteriorità silenziosa, eppure presente.
