The Moral Philosophy of Maria Montessori - Agency and Ethical Life (Hardcover): Patrick Frierson The Moral Philosophy of Maria Montessori - Agency and Ethical Life (Hardcover)
Patrick Frierson
R2,957 Discovery Miles 29 570 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

In the first scholarly exposition of Maria Montessori's moral philosophy, Patrick R. Frierson presents an empirically-grounded ethics that takes its start from our tendency to strive for excellence and emphasizes mutual respect, social solidarity, and love. Laying out a compelling, Montessorian approach to ethical life, Frierson constructs an account of human agency based on children, who when attentively at work on self-chosen tasks, have agency worthy of respect. Through this interpretation of children's agency, he introduces the core concept of Montessorian "character": in Montessori's ethics, character provides the ultimate value worthy of direct respect, and those with character have a natural tendency to respect others. Character is enhanced through corporate forms of agency that Montessori calls "social solidarity." Weaving this educationalist's ethics with theory from Nietzsche, Aristotle, Kant, Hegel, and Marx, Frierson places Montessori in the context of the history of philosophy. His study effectively unites philosophy and education, showing how human ethical life can be enhanced through a moral theory based on the respectful attention to the lived agency of young children.

Intellectual Agency and Virtue Epistemology: A Montessori Perspective (Hardcover): Patrick Frierson Intellectual Agency and Virtue Epistemology: A Montessori Perspective (Hardcover)
Patrick Frierson
R3,715 Discovery Miles 37 150 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Drawing on the work of Maria Montessori and contemporary virtue epistemologists such as Linda Zagzebski and Jason Baehr, Intellectual Agency and Virtue Epistemology presents a new interpretation of the nature of intellectual agency and its associated virtues. Focusing on Montessori's interpretation of specific virtues including sensory attentiveness, intellectual love and intellectual humility, it discusses why these are virtues, why one can be held responsible for them, and how they relate to each other. Moreover, it considers pedagogical implications of considering these capacities to be virtues. Intellectual Agency and Virtue Epistemology not only reveals the value of seeing Montessori as a virtue epistemologist, it encourages educationalists to take seriously the cultivation of intellectual virtues as an important part of the education of children.

Kant: Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime and Other Writings (Hardcover, New): Patrick Frierson, Paul Guyer Kant: Observations on the Feeling of the Beautiful and Sublime and Other Writings (Hardcover, New)
Patrick Frierson, Paul Guyer; Introduction by Patrick Frierson
R2,645 R2,454 Discovery Miles 24 540 Save R191 (7%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

This volume collects Kant's most important ethical and anthropological writings from the 1760s, before he developed his critical philosophy. The materials presented here range from the Observations, one of Kant's most elegantly written and immediately popular texts, to the accompanying Remarks which Kant wrote in his personal copy of the Observations and which are translated here in their entirety for the first time. This edition also includes little-known essays as well as personal notes and fragments that reveal the emergence of Kant's complex philosophical ideas. Those familiar with Kant's later works will discover a Kant interested in the 'beauty' as well as the 'dignity' of humanity, in human diversity as well as the universality of morals, and in practical concerns rather than abstract philosophizing. Readers will be able to see Kant's development from the Observations through the Remarks towards the moral philosophy that eventually made him famous.
