»Kosmische Erziehung" - dieser zentrale Begriff der Pädagogik Maria Montessoris ist manchen Missverständnissen ausgesetzt. Für Montessori selbst bündelt sich in diesem Ausdruck der Grundgedanke des Bildungsprogramms für Kinder von 6 bis 12 Jahren.
In der vorliegenden Darstellung führt einer der besten Kenner erstmals in dieser umfassenden shape in das Konzept der Kosmischen Erziehung ein. In diesem ersten Band zeichnet er die Entstehung des Konzepts bei Maria Montessori und ihrem Sohn Mario nach und behandelt dann ein erstes großes thematisches Feld, die Geschichte des Universums und unserer Erde. Dabei stehen nicht allein die kognitiven, sondern auch die ethisch-praktischen Lernziele gleichwertig im Mittelpunkt.
