Denn für jeden, der mit der Bildung von Menschen befasst ist, sollte daraus ein persönlicher Anspruch erwachsen, sich konkret mit der bildungstheoretischen Konzeption Humboldts vertraut zu machen.

Download or read book Discontinuity in Learning written by Andrea R. English and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-29 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this groundbreaking book, Andrea English challenges common assumptions by arguing that discontinuous experiences, such as uncertainty and struggle, are essential to the learning process. To make this argument, Dr English draws from the works of two seminal thinkers in philosophy of education - nineteenth-century German philosopher J. F. Herbart and American pragmatist John Dewey. English's analysis considers Herbart's influence on Dewey, inverting the accepted interpretation of Dewey's thought as a dramatic break from modern European understandings of education. Three key concepts - transformational learning, tact in teaching, and perfectibility - emerge from this analysis to revitalize our understanding of education as a transformational process. Dr English's comparative approach interweaves European and Anglo-American traditions of educational thought with a contemporary scholarly perspective, contributing to a work that is both intellectually rewarding and applicable to a classroom setting. The result is a book that is essential reading for philosophers and scholars of education, as well as educators.

Download or read book Barbara Bodichon s Epistolary Education written by Meritxell Simon-Martin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-06-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book brings together feminist histories in education with an innovative approach to epistolary narrative analytics. In deploying the notion of the epistolary bildung the author rigorously and eloquently shows how the correspondence of Barbara Bodichon can shed fresh light in a range of personal problems and public issues in women’s lives, which remain relevant today" - Maria Tamboukou, Professor of Feminist Studies, University of East London, UK This book assesses Barbara Bodichon’s significance in the history of the women’s movement in Britain by elaborating a conceptualisation of letters as sources of feminist development. Bodichon was the leader of the first women’s suffrage committee in England, which collected 1,500 signatures in favour of the female vote – a petition presented in the House of Commons by sympathising MPs to support the amendment of the 1867 Reform Bill. This book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Barbara Bodichon’s feminist becoming as she managed to mobilize partisans and secure signatures by means of chains of friendship letters spreading across the country. For letters functioned as platforms where, concomitantly to her making sense of her experiential input, Bodichon adopted, redefined and challenged circulating discourses – transforming them in the process and hence contributing to the production of feminist knowledge, intersubjectively and collaboratively in dialogue with her addressees. At the crossroads of history of feminism, gender history and history of women’s education, this book explores the significance of letter-exchange in Bodichon’s development into one of the galvanizing figures of the women’s rights movement in Victorian England.

Download or read book Teaching As A Reflective Practice written by Ian Westbury and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume presents a mix of translations of classical and modern papers from the German Didaktik tradition, newly prepared essays by German scholars and practitioners writing from within the tradition, and interpretive essays by U.S. scholars. It brings this tradition, which virtually dominated German curricular thought and teacher education until the 1960s when American curriculum theory entered Germany--and which is now experiencing a renaissance--to the English-speaking world, where it has been essentially unknown. The intent is to capture in one volume the core (at least) of the tradition of Didaktik and to communicate its potential relevance to English-language curricularists and teacher educators. It introduces a theoretical tradition which, although very different in almost every respect from those we know, offers a set of approaches that suggest ways of thinking about problems of reflection on curricular and teaching praxis (the core focus of the tradition) which the editors believe are accessible to North American readers--with appropriate "translation." These ways of thinking and related praxis are very relevant to notions such as reflective teaching and the discourse on teachers as professionals. By raising the possibility that the "new" tradition of Didaktik can be highly suggestive for thinking through issues related to a number of central ideas within contemporary discourse--and for exploring the implications of these ideas for both teacher education and for a curriculum theory appropriate to these new contexts for theorizing, this book opens up a gold mine of theoretical and practical possibilities.

Download or read book Wilhelm Von Humboldt and Transcultural Communication in a Multicultural World written by John Walker and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2022 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) is the progenitor of modern linguistics and the originator of the modern teaching and research university. However, his work has received remarkably little attention in the English-speaking world. Humboldt conceives language as the source of cognition as well as communication, both rooted in the possibility of human dialogue. In the same way, his idea of the university posits the free encounter between radically different personalities as the source of education for freedom. For Humboldt, both linguistic and intellectual communication are predicated firstly on dialogue between persons, which is the prerequisite for all intercultural understanding. Linking Humboldt's concept of dialogue to his idea of translation between languages, persons, and cultures, this book shows how Humboldt's thought is of great contemporary relevance. Humboldt shows a way beyond the false alternatives of "culturalism" (the demand that a plurality of cultural and faith-based traditions be recognized as sources of ethical and political legitimacy in the modern world) and "universalism" (the assertion of the primacy of a universal culture of human rights and the renewal of the European Enlightenment project). John Walker explains how Humboldt's work emerges from the intellectual conflicts of his time and yet directly addresses the concerns of our own post-secular and multicultural age.

Download or read book The Bonn Handbook of Globality written by Ludger Kühnhardt and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 736 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This two-volume handbook provides readers with a comprehensive interpretation of globality through the multifaceted prism of the humanities and social sciences. Key concepts and symbolizations rooted in and shaped by European academic traditions are discussed and reinterpreted under the conditions of the global turn. Highlighting consistent anthropological features and socio-cultural realities, the handbook gathers coherently structured articles written by 110 professors in the humanities and social sciences at Bonn University, Germany, who initiate a global dialogue on meaningful and sustainable notions of human life in the age of globality. Volume 1 introduces readers to various interpretations of globality, and discusses notions of human development, communication and aesthetics. Volume 2 covers notions of technical meaning, of political and moral order, and reflections on the shaping of globality.

Download or read book The Humboldtian Tradition written by Peter Josephson and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The Humboldtian Tradition, eleven scholars consider Wilhelm von Humboldt as a historical phenomenon and a contemporary symbol. Inspired by the growing body of literature that in recent years has problematized the modern research university, they put Humboldt’s basic academic principles into context and discuss their significance for the current debate about higher education. The authors draw on the latest research in order to bring the educational and research policies of our day into perspective. At a time when the university is undergoing deep-seated transformations worldwide, they address the question how we should relate to the ideas associated with Humboldt’s name. What is his relevance to the twenty-first century? Contributors are: Mitchell Ash, Pieter Dhondt, Ylva Hasselberg, Marja Jalava, Peter Josephson, Thomas Karlsohn, Claudia Lindén, Johan Östling, Sharon Rider, Hans Ruin, Susan Wright.

Download or read book Germany from the Outside written by Laurie Ruth Johnson and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2022-09-08 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nation-state is a European invention of the 18th and 19th centuries. In the case of the German nation in particular, this invention was tied closely to the idea of a homogeneous German culture with a strong normative function. As a consequence, histories of German culture and literature often are told from the inside-as the unfolding of a canon of works representing certain core values, with which every person who considers him or herself “German” necessarily must identify. But what happens if we describe German culture and its history from the outside? And as something heterogeneous, shaped by multiple and diverse sources, many of which are not obviously connected to things traditionally considered “German”? Emphasizing current issues of migration, displacement, systemic injustice, and belonging, Germany from the Outside explores new opportunities for understanding and shaping community at a time when many are questioning the ability of cultural practices to effect structural change. Located at the nexus of cultural, political, historiographical, and philosophical discourses, the essays in this volume inform discussions about next directions for German Studies and for the Humanities in a fraught era.

Download or read book Experiment and Exploration Forms of World Disclosure written by Sönke Ahrens and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with contemporary epistemological questions, connecting Educational Philosophy with the field of Science- and Technology Studies. It can be understood as a draft of a general theory of world-disclosure, which is in its core a distinction between two forms of world-disclosure: experiment and exploration. These two forms have never been clearly distinguished before. The focus lies on the experimental form of world-disclosure, which is described in detail and in contrast to the explorational form along the line of twenty-one characteristics, which are mainly derived from empirical studies of experimental work in the field of natural sciences. It can also be understood as an attempt to integrate elements of the Anglo-Saxon Philosophy of Science with elements of the German tradition of Educational Philosophy. This is also reflected in the style of writing. In accordance to the content-level of the book, the argument for experimental forms of world-disclosure is written in an essayistic, readable style, which can be understood as an experimental form of writing. This book is a translation of the doctoral thesis 'Experiment und Exploration. Bildung als experimentelle Form der Welterschließung' (summa cum laude). The thesis was published in German in 2010 by Transcript (Bielefeld) in the series called 'Theorie Bilden', edited by Prof. Dr. Hannelore Faulstich-Wieland, Prof. Dr. Hans-Christoph Koller, Prof. Dr. Karl-Josef Pazzini and Prof. Dr. Michael Wimmer.

Download or read book Zu Wilhelm von Humboldts Theorie der Bildung des Menschen written by Franziska Weigt and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2009-10-26 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Wissenschaftstheorie, Anthropologie, Note: 2,0, Universität Potsdam, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Die Bildung des Menschen ist eines der ältesten und eine der modernsten Überlegungen der gesellschaftlichen Entwicklung und doch gibt es entscheidende Unterschiede der Betrachtung. Das Bildungsziel des Menschen war in den einzelnen Epochen unterschiedlicher Natur. Dennoch war und ist eine Frage weiterhin zentral: Was ist der Mensch und was kann er werden, wie und wodurch ist er geworden? Diese Fragen werden begleitet von den Perspektiven, die das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Freiheit und Zwang beziehungsweise Determinismus und Interdeterminismus der Bildung des Menschen offen legen. Hierbei wirkt die Fremd- und Selbstbestimmung ausschlaggebend auf die Bildung des Menschen ein. Die Selbstbestimmung des Subjekts steht im engen Zusammenhang mit dem Selbstbewusstsein. Sich selbst dessen bewusst zu sein, was man tut und wie gehandelt wird, ist bedingt durch die Selbstreflexion, die durch Bildung und Lernprozesse hervorgebracht wird. Die Entwicklung der kognitiven Kompetenz und Fähigkeiten des Menschen beginnen ab dem Zeitpunkt der Geburt. Der Mensch, abgesehen von den genetischen Erbanlagen, ist bei der Geburt unabhängig von sozialen Kontakten und Einflüssen. Es stellt sich die Frage, was bei dem Menschen gebildet werden muss, damit ein gesellschaftsfähiges, trotzdem einzigartiges Lebewesen entsteht. Diese Entwicklung wird begleitet durch Situationen und Einflüsse der Natur, der sozialen Umwelt und durch Interaktion. Wird der gegenwärtige Bildungsbegriff „Lebenslanges Lernen“ angesprochen, sind die Entwicklungsprozesse des Individuums gemeint, die geistige, kulturelle und soziale Kompetenzen herausbilden und resultierend die Ausbildung des Menschen voranbringen. „Es wäre ein grosses und trefliches Werk zu liefern, wenn jemand die eigenthümlichen Fähigkeiten zu schildern unternähme, welche die verschiedenen Fächer der menschlichen Erkenntniss zu ihrer glücklichen Erweiterung voraussetzen; den ächten Geist, in dem sie einzeln bearbeitet, und die Verbindung, in die sie alle mit einander gesetzt werden müssen, um die Ausbildung der Menschheit, als ein Ganzes zu vollenden.“ (Humboldt, 1793, 282) Diese Arbeit setzt sich auseinander mit der Rekonstruktion der „Theorie der Bildung des Menschen“ nach Humboldt und verfolgt die Frage, wie sich der Mensch bilden lasse und warum der Mensch gebildet werden muss. Es ist weder Ziel politische und ökonomische Aspekte tiefgehend mit einzubeziehen, noch soll die Verbindung zur Sprache und Kultur explizit ausgeführt werden.

Download or read book The Apocalypse in Germany written by Klaus Vondung and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 2000 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in German in 1988, The Apocalypse in Germany is now available for the first time in English. A fitting subject for the dawn of the new millennium, the apocalypse has intrigued humanity for the last two thousand years, serving as both a fascinating vision of redemption and a profound threat. A cross-disciplinary study, The Apocalypse in Germany analyzes fundamental aspects of the apocalypse as a religious, political, and aesthetic phenomenon. Author Klaus Vondung draws from religious, philosophical, and political texts, as well as works of art and literature. Using classic Jewish and Christian apocalyptic texts as symbolic and historical paradigms, Vondung determines the structural characteristics and the typical images of the apocalyptic worldview. He clarifies the relationship between apocalyptic visions and utopian speculations and explores the question of whether modern apocalypses can be viewed as secularizations of the Judeo-Christian models. Examining sources from the eighteenth century to the present, Vondung considers the origins of German nationalism, World War I, National Socialism, and the apocalyptic tendencies in Marxism as well as German literature--from the fin de siècle to postmodernism. His analysis of the existential dimension of the apocalypse explores the circumstances under which particular individuals become apocalyptic visionaries and explains why the apocalyptic tradition is so prevalent in Germany. The Apocalypse in Germany offers an interdisciplinary perspective that will appeal to a broad audience. This book will also be of value to readers with an interest in German studies, as it clarifies the riddles of Germany's turbulent history and examines the profile of German culture, particularly in the past century.

Download or read book There is a Crack in Everything Education and Religion in a Secular Age written by K. H. (Ina) ter Avest and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2019-11-22 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are two constants in academic and theological discourse throughout history, they are the debate around secularization and the dialogue concerning the intersection of religion and education. Each age has had its debate about modernizing forces that drive concerns of impending secularization. In this publication this theme is approached from perspectives of teachers, of students, of policy makers and situated in a politico-historical context. Aware of the fact that in today’s plural societies one sacred canopy is non-existent anymore, cracks of the sacred canopy/canopies are described, as well as ‘the light that gets in’, the possible and challenging ways out are roughly sketched.

Download or read book The Role of Comparative Philosophy in Bosnia and Herzegovina written by Nevad Kahteran and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2021-09-20 with total page 195 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays highlights that, despite its history of conflict, Bosnia and Herzegovina has a real enthusiasm for comparative philosophy. It illustrates the role of this type of philosophy in Bosnian culture and links it with developments in other parts of the world and other cultures. Part One consists of essays that have appeared, in slightly revised versions, in a number of journals and books that focus on relevant resources introducing this field in our region and especially Bosnia and Herzegovina, while Part Two consists of interviews with prominent scholars outside of this country. The book examines the challenges confronting the teaching of comparative philosophy within the university-level philosophy curriculum in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the surrounding countries in the Balkans, a part of the world where multicultural societies are the norm. Facing the twenty-first century, these confluences and cross-currents are increasingly gaining importance, especially in this region, with a comparativism of ethnocentrism and multiculturalism becoming a way of challenging stereotypes.

Download or read book Humboldt and the modern German university written by Johan Östling and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2018-04-03 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the idea of the university in modern Germany. Its primary focus is how the Humboldtian tradition was transformed and how it gave direction to debates around higher education. By combining approaches from intellectual history, conceptual history and the history of knowledge, the study investigates the ways in which Humboldt’s ideas have been appropriated for various purposes in different historical contexts and epochs. Ultimately, it shows that Humboldt’s ideals are not timeless – they are historical phenomena and have always been determined by the predicaments and issues of the day. Nevertheless, many of the key concepts and fundamental ideas have endured throughout the twentieth century, though they have been interpreted in different ways.
