By Joseph McCabe, Francisco Ferrer Guardia, Francisco Ferrer Guardia

Book Overview

The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School is a book written by Francisco Ferrer in 1913. The book is a collection of essays that outline the philosophy and principles of the Modern School movement, which aimed to provide a new kind of education that was free from the constraints of traditional schooling. Ferrer believed that education should be based on the principles of freedom, equality, and social justice, and that children should be encouraged to explore their own interests and passions. The book discusses the origins of the Modern School movement, its key principles, and the practicalities of implementing this new kind of education. Ferrer also explores the role of education in society and argues that it has the power to transform individuals and communities. The book is a seminal work in the history of education and remains relevant today as a call for reform in the way we approach education.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
