Abstract

The present article proposes a discussion regarding efforts of the Montessori community to offer resistance to the prevailing utilitarian and capitalistic entourage that Montessori herself so criticized. It addresses related questions: what are some of her legacies to the early education movement? How does the Montessori community attend to present dilemmas and their own development as communities of learning? It is concluded that Montessorians approach a variety of areas of concern, in spite of the diametrical difference between practices, whereby only the Montessori name and materials may be utilized. The current relevance and urgency of Montessori practices is stressed, together with the need for conceptual clarity from a paradigm of complexity.
