OHP. Raamat 8. Perekonna kasvatamise kunst. Pedagoogiline essee

The life and work of Sh.A. Amonaashvili are dedicated to the development of classical ideas of humane pedagogy and the establishment of the concept of "spiritual humanism" in pedagogical consciousness. This book does not contain methodological recommendations or strict instructions but teaches the reader to think and reflect independently; it is not theoretical knowledge, but "the very pedagogical life in which all participants are educated." The book fosters a moral-intellectual and spiritually-human stance towards the Child, helping to direct him or her towards serving goodness and justice, and to develop the latent strength of spirit, mind, and heart. For Sh.A. Amonaashvili, humane pedagogy is music, poetry, and philosophy of life; by introducing his thoughts and feelings into it, the author shares a love for the humanistic system, and consequently, a love for children. By revealing "his" humane pedagogy, he makes it interesting and accessible to a wide range of readers—parents, teachers, educators, and those who work with children.
