The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School (1913)

""The Origin and Ideals of the Modern School"" is a book written by Francisco Ferrer in 1913. Ferrer was a Spanish educator and anarchist who founded the Escuela Moderna (Modern School) in Barcelona in 1901. The book describes the origins and principles of the Modern School, which was a radical experiment in education that aimed to create a new kind of society based on freedom, equality, and social justice. Ferrer believed that traditional education was oppressive and that children should be allowed to develop their own interests and talents in a supportive and non-coercive environment. He also advocated for the abolition of religion and the state, and for the establishment of a society based on voluntary cooperation and mutual aid. The book is a passionate call to action for educators, parents, and activists to join the struggle for a better world, and it continues to inspire progressive movements today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
