The pedagogical anthropology inspired by Giuseppe Sergi is briefly sketched and analysed in terms of the scientific method and logic underlying its structure. Such method and logic are compared to the scientific techniques of both natural and social sciences of the contemporary age, as they are subsumed in the thought of the author. Giuseppe Sergi’s pedagogical anthropology stands out for its use of logical and introspective thought, evolutionary ideas on the psyche leading to an improvement of man’s character and mental higher functions. It hints at a bridge between the world of quantity, where science resides, and the world of quality, where humanity dwells.

Abstract
The pedagogical anthropology inspired by Giuseppe Sergi is briefly sketched and analysed in terms of the scientific method and logic underlying its structure. Such method and logic are compared to the scientific techniques of both natural and social sciences of the contemporary age, as they are subsumed in the thought of the author. Giuseppe Sergi’s pedagogical anthropology stands out for its use of logical and introspective thought, evolutionary ideas on the psyche leading to an improvement of man’s character and mental higher functions. It hints at a bridge between the world of quantity, where science resides, and the world of quality, where humanity dwells.Pubblicazioni consigliate
