Abstract

his article presents and historically contextualizes Ellen G. White’s educational proposal (1827-1915) designed in heart of the Civil War and the education reform of the United States in the 1860s. Her writings - more than one hundred thousand manuscript pages in almost ninety years of existence - cover topics apparently so disparate as general theology, eschatology, lifestyle, health, history and education. However, White’s works, while unsystematic and dialectic, teleologically and eminently aim the human redemption. It is under this professedly redemptive bias and beyond religion, also liberating, that her educational writings integrate physical education, mental and moral parts of men, constituting a privileged body of experiential knowledge.
