Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ruling Principle of Method: Applied to Education
The work translated in the following pages was not published till after the death of the author, and is, in fact, only a fragment of a much larger work, which he had planned, and in which the education of the human being was to be carried on, through all the stages of life, on the principle of natural development here laid down and applied to infant education only. He rightly entitled it "The Ruling Principle of Method in Education," for it is the principle on which Nature herself works; and its applications, as given by Rosmini, and almost contemporaneously, though quite independently, worked out by Froebel, in his Kindergarten system, constitute the true art of education, founded on the science of human nature. I cannot better introduce the reader to the nature and scope of the work, and the history of its composition and publication, than by extracting the account given of them in the "Preface addressed to Italian Educators," prefixed to the original, by its editor, Francesco Paoli: -
"Towards the end of 1839 Antonio Rosmini undertook this work on Pedagogy, the occasion of his doing so being apparently the offer of a pious and generous-minded woman, Anna Maria Bolorgaro of Stresa, to intrust to the Institute of Charity (the order founded by Rosmini) the management of the elementary school which her grandfather had founded in that place, and which was, in fact, undertaken by the Institute in the following year.

The Ruling Principle of Method: Applied to Education (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores Rosmini's theory of natural development as the guiding principle in the teaching of children, as a basis for the true art of education. The author argues that education should begin from the lesser to the greater, from the easy to the difficult, from the known to the unknown by insensible gradations. The book is divided into two books, the first of which sets out the ruling principle of the method, while the second examines the application of the ruling principle to little children. The author argues that this ruling principle is the natural and necessary order of intellectual action, and that it should be the foundation of all teaching methods. Rosmini's work provided an early and important contribution to the science and art of education, and the insights offered in this book remain highly relevant to contemporary educational debates. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330998410_0
