Description
Summary:What if we could observe the normal operation of mimetic desire in a rivalry-free environment? What would object relationships look like? Would acquisitive desire make an appearance without the encouragement of the model-obstacle dynamic? Montessori’s teacher training method offers a rigorous approach to removing rivalry from the student-teacher relationship. It is designed and functions to prevent the model-obstacle phenomenon from occurring. Therefore it provides us with a laboratory for observing mimetic desire in as close to a pre-lapsarian state as we can approximate this side of the gates of Eden.
