The influence
of Pestalozzi on the work of
Eurípedes Barsanulfo
The educator and writer
Marcus De Mario, in the
special entitled Eurípedes,
Lavater and Pestalozzi,
reminds us of important
aspects about the
educational work that
Eurípedes Barsanulfo founded
in Sacramento (MG), strongly
influenced by Pestalozzi's
ideas, and formulates, in
his article, an interesting
hypothesis that would
explain how the experience
of the Iverdon Institute
would have come to the
attention of the founder of
Allan Kardec School.
Our interviewee in this
issue is the psychologist
Nelson Tavares, born in Rio
de Janeiro, today based on
the Island of Madeira, in
Portugal, where he works
professionally as a
Transpersonal Psychologist
and, in spiritist work,
participates in the
activities of the Casa dos
Humildes Association, in
Lisbon, and the Spiritist
Cultural Center of Funchal,
on the island of Madeira.
The interview is one of the
highlights of this edition.
Lawyer, former federal
congressman, journalist and
one of the founders of Jornal
do Brasil, Aristides de
Souza Spínola was born in
Caetité (Bahia) on August
29, 1850. In 1905 he joined
the Brazilian Spiritist
Federation, an institution
he served for 21 years and
of which he was president or
vice-president at different
times, as shown by Thiago
Bernardes in a special
article published in this
issue.
