Pestalozzi connects Gertrude, the mother in the family, and the nation. 8 For Pestalozzi, the child’s relationship with the mother is fundamental because moral education develops from an awareness of the inner world through the heart (Heafford, 1967) before moving from cultivation of the emotions to the exercise of judgement (Silber, 1960). Pestalozzi traces the progression of the child from the satisfaction of physical needs to feelings of trust, love and gratitude for the mother, feelings that will be extended to other human beings (Heafford, 1967).
Writing after her visit to Pestalozzi, Germaine de Staël noted that Pestalozzi had pushed further than any other the theory and practice of gradation in the art of instruction. But, she pointed out: ‘the method of P, like everything else that is truly good, is not entirely a new discovery but an enlightened and persevering application of truths already known’ (de Staël, 1810, p. 372). Pestalozzi, himself, did not claim that his theories were entirely new: It is in no way my intention to stress any one of my points of view because it is new; I hold fast to my system because I believe it consistent with human nature, and I am convinced that educational theory in all aspects in which it is fully developed, corresponds to that which is true in my system.
In her view, the terrain of political citizenship is the public sphere; but a public sphere not divorced from what happens in the private, which shapes the contours of the public and can be the proper object of citizenship struggles (pp. 28–30). Lister suggests a notion of human agency rooted in its social context. She distinguishes between ‘simple agency’ and ‘citizenship agency’, which intertwine and act upon each other: To act as a citizen requires first a sense of agency, the belief that one can act; acting as a citizen, especially collectively, in turn fosters that sense of agency.
