ペスタロッチーの初期思想における「困窮」の人間形成的意義

抄録

In this paper the role of “Need” (Not) in the formation of man in its material and spiritual meaning shall be examined as it is found in the early stages of Pestalozzi's. thought.
Material need produces the necessary stamina needed by man to become self-reliant through the fulfilment of one's vocational obligations.
Thus, “need” by giving. “the opportunity to overcome much”, is a valuable educational means to implant the power of self-restraint which is the basis- for man to develop an autonomous personality.
At the basis of Pestalozzi's thinking, was an exclusive reliance on external factors for man in his living; in regard to morality this meant the stress-was on “heterogenous” factors. But the investigation on “need” in this paper makes it clear that also in the early period of the development of Pestalozzi's thinking, he maintained already a, view of man as moral being based on “autonomy.”
