This constitutes a humanistic social pedagogy. This endeavor is important, as it has been argued that pedagogues have lost their influence on this particular pedagogy, a pedagogy that influences social life and national culture in both theory and practice. Both historians of education and contemporary pedagogues have failed to take meaningful notice of the output, traditions and value of this unique relationship. This brief sketch is intended to encourage the more complete reconstruction of humanistic social pedagogy.
