Maria Montessori: Education for Peace

Maria Montessori’s commitment to peace is longstanding, thorough, and an integral part of her larger philosophy of education and human flourishing. It is also well-documented: her writings on the subject from the 1930s have been extensively studied and are included in the collection Education and Peace, originally published to support her nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1949, 1950, and 1951. While her most explicit statements about peace date from this relatively late phase in her career, throughout her life Montessori consistently advocated for peace through short articles, essays, petitions, and direct actions. Moreover, Montessori’s dedication to fostering empathy in students and guiding them toward becoming balanced, respectful adults was fundamental to creating a more peaceful world. All in all, promoting global peace was the end goal of her educational mission. This essay highlights three key moments in which Montessori explicitly devoted herself to peace and pacifism, demonstrating their significance within her broader educational philosophy: her early work in restorative education, her unsuccessful development of the White Cross during World War I, and her writings on pacifism during the Spanish Civil War and the eve of the Second World War.
