VEIGA, Marcelo da. Revisiting humanism as guiding principle for education: an excursion into Waldorf Pedagogy. Educ. Rev. [online]. 2015, n.56, pp.19-31. ISSN 1984-0411.  https://doi.org/10.590/0101-4360.41417.

This paper begins by highlight the growing relevance of Rudolf Steiner's thinking within academic discourse. It then turns to a brief discussion of the consequences of physicalism and naturalism in education. In a third step, the concept of notional instrumentalism is presented as a possible way of overcoming the generally unfruitful debates about the comprehension of non-physical aspects of reality. All this serves finally to stress the importance of revisiting humanism as a potential guiding principle for education.
