Education For A New World - The Montessori Series
Written for the parents and teachers of children under six, and short enough to be read in an evening: 69 pages, soft cover, The Montessori Series, 1999. The argument is that once the biological and psychological facts of development are taken seriously, the care of a small child stops being drudgery and repression and turns into collaboration with something already under way. The Kalakshetra printing of the same book runs to 97 pages in hard cover. Paper and cardstock.

Frequently Asked Questions
What age group is 'Education for a New World' intended for?
While this book discusses the second plane of development (6-12 years), it is primarily written for adults - parents, teachers, and educators who work with children. The content explores Montessori philosophy and educational theory rather than being a direct resource for children.
What is the main focus of this volume in The Montessori Series?
This book presents Montessori's vision of education as a transformative force for humanity. It explores how children in the 6-12 age range naturally develop social consciousness and moral reasoning, and how cosmic education can nurture their role as future builders of society.
How does this book relate to cosmic education?
The book provides the theoretical foundation for cosmic education, explaining how children develop a cosmic sense and understanding of interdependence during the second plane. It outlines why this age is crucial for developing awareness of humanity's interconnected story and the child's place within it.
Is this book suitable for parents new to Montessori?
While accessible, this volume delves into more philosophical aspects of Montessori education. Parents new to Montessori might benefit from starting with 'The Absorbent Mind' or 'The Secret of Childhood' before exploring these deeper concepts about education's role in human evolution.
What makes this book essential for Montessori educators?
This volume is fundamental for understanding Montessori's vision beyond classroom methods. It provides crucial insights into why we educate, the child's role in human progress, and how education can address social problems - essential context for implementing cosmic education effectively.
