He constructs an account of human agency based on children's agency and introduces the core concept of Montessorian "character" as the ultimate value worthy of direct respect. Character is enhanced through corporate forms of agency called "social solidarity." Frierson's study unites philosophy and education, showing how human ethical life can be enhanced through a moral theory based on the respectful attention to the lived agency of young children.
