John Gardner has worked in anthroposophy and Waldorf education for
close to sixty years. The present volume collects some of his most
striking thoughts on various aspects of education and adolescence
viewed from the perspective of spiritual science. "It is a
characteristic of youth, " he writes, "that what will later be
accomplishment appears first as longing." This longing, which
appears in manifold guises, is above all a longing for true forms
of knowing. At the deepest levels, young people's thinking seeks to
become imagination, their life of feeling to become inspiration,
while in their sexuality, they experience the burgeoning seed of
intuition. The leading question of education is how these longings
are to be nurtured and cultivated so thai they fulfill their
promise, and we grow up as free, responsible human beings able to
care for each other and the greater life that sustains us. Such are
the issues that John Gardner considers in this wise collection,
which also includes reflections on such topics as discipline and
the importance of play.
