The philosopher I have chosen to talk about in this essay is Maria Montessori.

One of her quotes that got me interested in talking about her in this essay is “Children are human beings to whom respect is due, superior to us because of their innocence and the greater possibilities of their future” .

She is the first female doctor in Italy who ended up working with children through observations with children, and developed this different method and this philosophical idea of ​​teaching. This is based on the fact that she believed and understood that children should be active and use their hands when learning, it is more effective. This way, they learn best when they are interested in the material and the subject. When Montessori graduated from the University of Rome in 1896, she continued to do her research at this university clinic. She also worked voluntarily as an assistant there, her job requiring her to visit asylums in Rome where she witnessed mentally disabled children. This was essential for his future educational work.
