More From Maria Montessori

...we discovered that education is not something which the teacher does, but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being. it is not acquired by listening to words, but in virtue of experiences in which the child acts on his environment. the teacher's task is not to talk, but to prepare and arrange a series of motives for cultural activity in a special environment made for the child.

Groups do not have experiences except insofar as all their members do. and there are no experiences... that all the members of a scientific community must share in the course of a [scientific] revolution. revolutions should be described not in terms of group experience but in terms of the varied experiences of individual group members. indeed, that variety itself turns out to play an essential role in the evolution of scientific knowledge.

A man's knowledge may be said to be mature, in other words, when it has reached the most complete state of perfection to which he, as an individual, is capable of bringing it, when an exact correspondence is established between the whole of his abstract ideas and the things he has actually perceived for himself. his will mean that each of his abstract ideas rests, directly or indirectly, upon a basis of observation, which alone endows it with any real value; and also that he is able to place every observation he makes under the right abstract idea which belongs to it.

Faith is precisely the paradox that the single individual as the single individual is higher than the universal, is justified before it, not as inferior to it but superior - yet in such a way, please note, that it is the single individual who, after being subordinate as the single individual to the universal, now by means of the universal becomes the single individual who as the single individual is superior, that the single individual as the single individual stands in an absolute relation to the absolute.

From the dawn of exact knowledge to the present day, observation, experiment, and speculation have gone hand in hand; and, whenever science has halted or strayed from the right path, it has been, either because its votaries have been content with mere unverified or unverifiable speculation (and this is the commonest case, because observation and experiment are hard work, while speculation is amusing); or it has been, because the accumulation of details of observation has for a time excluded speculation.
