curyte
Someone that loves learning and identifies with curiosity as a fundamental value. This individual seeks to be proven wrong and consistently tests their hypotheses in socratic discussion. They hold truth in such high regard that they work hard to avoid other human motives or rationalization that might compromise their ability to grow and learn. They learn, at least in part, for the sake of learning.
Maria Montessori believed in providing an environment for children to become curytes. She wrote prolifically about the pedagogy that would allow children to engage with education viscerally and profoundly by being given the tools to do so in a structured way.
