Produktbeschreibung

"Tablets" is a book by Amos Bronson Alcott, an American teacher and philosopher who never punished his students, as his main aim was to perfect the human spirit, not to break it. He was also an abolitionist and an advocate for women's rights and propagated the vegan diet before its term was coined. The book is called "Tablets" because it consists of random notes and thoughts on topics like gardens, relations, friends, women, pleasures, and recreations written down on tablets or notebooks, among other daily routines.

Autorenporträt

Amos Bronson Alcott (November 29, 1799 - March 4, 1888) was an American teacher, writer, philosopher, and reformer renowned for his innovative educational practices and pioneering transcendentalist ideas. Alcott's intellectual endeavors often reflected his commitment to individualism and personal enlightenment. His literary output, though not voluminous, is marked by a pursuit of conversational prose and introspective content. Alcott's work 'Tablets' compiled a series of writings that encapsulate his explorations into human consciousness and educational theories. Deeply influenced by the likes of Plato and Emmanuel Swedenborg, his work often sought to blend the spiritual with the pedagogical, aiming to elevate the minds and souls of his readers and pupils alike. Alcott's approach to education was revolutionary, advocating for a holistic, student-centered teaching that opposed the more austere and rigid schooling of his time. He believed in the importance of nurturing the inner life of the child, a theme that pervades his writings. As a literary figure, his style was marked by a penchant for aphoristic clarity and poetic reflection. Though Alcott's literary impact may not match that of his contemporaries in volume, his contributions to educational philosophy and transcendentalist literature continue to be recognized as essential to the understanding of 19th-century American intellectual history.
