Educational Aspects in the Spiritual Autobiography of Mother Teresa of Calcutta
Educational Aspects in the Spiritual Autobiography of Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Summary/Abstract: Despite of its importance and of the multiple possible outcomes, spiritualautobiography has not been enough valorised until now by the theological, philological, philosophical orhistorical research. Conscious on this fact, we will try there to bring into attention an important workof the genre, namely the spiritual autobiography of Mother Teresa of Calcutta (1910-2003), founderof the famous Congregation of Catholic sisters, "Missionaries of Charity." Moreover, we willinvestigate there a relevant aspect not only for the style and content of her work, but also for thecontemporary society, namely the education and its role. We will try to emphasize there the multipleforms of education that can be found and to see what is the relationship between education, revelationand act according to the Catholic religious. We will also try to see the similitudes and differencesbetween the investigated text and other coming from the same or from different confessionalbackgrounds and to create, where it will be possible, bridges between spiritualties.
