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.

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 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.

Download or read book Non affirmative Theory of Education and Bildung written by Michael Uljens and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-07-14 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interpreting the modern heritage of ‘Bildung’ in connection to education theory, this open access volume explores non-affirmative theory of education and ‘Bildung’ as a language of education for the 21st century. In this ‘Bildung’-centered view of education, discerning thought on knowledge and values are critical objectives of education. To promote these aims, education practice must recognize but not affirm existing conditions or future ideals but instead pedagogically summon the student to self-directed critical treatment of the contents. Drawing on contemporary developments of modern education theory, especially as developed by Dietrich Benner in Berlin, the volume highlight how ‘educative teaching’ aims at supporting the growth of the individual as a person and citizen. The volume shows how it is possible to identify a position beyond education either as a mere transformative or a reproductive power. Instead of such an instrumentalism, education is seen as a critical societal practice, necessary for reflexive action and democracy. In different ways, the chapters demonstrate how non-affirmative theory offer an alternative to contemporary neo-liberal and conservative policies. The non-affirmative approach offers a strong education theory, relationally connecting the interactive level of teaching, studying and learning with the societal level and educational governance. Non-affirmative theory on education and ‘Bildung’ provides an elaborate point of departure for empirical research on teaching and educational leadership, teacher education and policy making. In five sections, the volume highlights how non-affirmative education theory relate to Didaktik, educative teaching, school didactics, democratic education and social justice. The approach is also analysed in relation to phenomenology, sociology, hermeneutics, cultural-historical activity theory, discursive institutionalism, empirical research, educational leadership and governance and 21st century competencies.

Download or read book Organizing Enlightenment written by Chad Wellmon and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-04-20 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Enlightenment-era concerns that gave rise to the modern research university can illuminate contemporary debates about knowledge in the digital age. Since its inception, the research university has been the central institution of knowledge in the West. Today its intellectual authority is being challenged on many fronts, above all by radical technological change. Organizing Enlightenment tells the story of how the university emerged in the early nineteenth century at a similarly fraught moment of cultural anxiety about revolutionary technologies and their disruptive effects on established institutions of knowledge. Drawing on the histories of science, the university, and print, as well as media theory and philosophy, Chad Wellmon explains how the research university and the ethic of disciplinarity it created emerged as the final and most lasting technology of the Enlightenment. Organizing Enlightenment reveals higher education’s story as one not only of the production of knowledge but also of the formation of a particular type of person: the disciplinary self. In order to survive, the university would have to institutionalize a new order of knowledge, one that was self-organizing, internally coherent, and embodied in the very character of the modern, critical scholar.

Download or read book Enlightened War written by Elisabeth Krimmer and published by Camden House. This book was released on 2011 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New essays exploring the relationship between warfare and Enlightenment thought both historically and in the present. Enlightened War investigates the multiple and complex interactions between warfare and Enlightenment thought. Although the Enlightenment is traditionally identified with the ideals of progress, eternal peace, reason, and self-determination, Enlightenment discourse unfolded during a period of prolonged European warfare from the Seven Years' War to the Napoleonic conquest of Europe. The essays in this volume explore the palpable influence of war on eighteenth-century thought and argue for an ideological affinity among war, Enlightenment thought, and its legacy. The essays are interdisciplinary, engaging with history, art history, philosophy, military theory, gender studies, and literature and with historical events and cultural contexts from the early Enlightenment through German Classicism and Romanticism. The volume enriches our understanding of warfare in the eighteenth century and shows how theories and practices of war impacted concepts of subjectivity, national identity, gender, and art. It also sheds light on the contemporary discussion of the legitimacy of violence by juxtaposing theories of war, concepts of revolution, and human rights discourses. Contributors: Johannes Birgfeld, David Colclasure, Sara Eigen Figal, Ute Frevert, Wolf Kittler, Elisabeth Krimmer, Waltraud Maierhofer, Arndt Niebisch, Felix Saure, Galili Shahar, Patricia Anne Simpson, Inge Stephan. Elisabeth Krimmer is Professor of German at the University of California, Davis, and Patricia Anne Simpson is Associate Professor of German Studies at Montana State University.

Download or read book Education as Human Knowledge in the Anthropocene written by Christoph Wulf and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-03-27 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the concepts of the Anthropocene and globalisation in our society and the changes that these are bringing about in education and human learning. The book argues that there needs to be reflexive approach to issues that affect the fate of the planet and the future of humans, brought about by an education that looks to the future. Wulf argues that a change in education and socialization can only succeed based on an understanding of previous educational ideas, and considers the significance of Confucianism and spiritual education that emerged in the East. The book traces key educational ideas throughout history to show how education and human knowledge are closely linked, highlighting the need for us to pay careful attention to repetition, mimesis and the imagination in learning. It shows how a future-oriented education must engage with issues of peace and violence, global citizenship and sustainable development. This timely and compelling book will be of great interest to researchers, academics and students in the fields of philosophy of education, the history and anthropology of education, sustainability education and global citizenship education

Book excerpt: "Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Karl Ferdinand von Humboldt (22 June 1767? 8 April 1835) was a Prussian philosopher, government functionary, diplomat, and founder of the University of Berlin, which was named after him (and his brother, naturalist Alexander von Humboldt) in 1949. He is especially remembered as a linguist who made important contributions to the philosophy of language and to the theory and practice of education. In particular, he is widely recognized as having been the architect of the Prussian education system which was used as a model for education systems in countries such as the United States and Japan. Humboldt was born in Potsdam, Margraviate of Brandenburg, and died in Tegel, Province of Brandenburg. His younger brother, Alexander von Humboldt, was equally famous, as a geographer and explorer."--Wikipedia.

Download or read book Everyday Ethics written by Michael Lamb and published by Georgetown University Press. This book was released on 2019-10-01 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What might we learn if the study of ethics focused less on hard cases and more on the practices of everyday life? In Everyday Ethics, Michael Lamb and Brian Williams gather some of the world’s leading scholars and practitioners of moral theology (including some GUP authors) to explore that question in dialogue with anthropology and the social sciences. Inspired by the work of Michael Banner, these scholars cross disciplinary boundaries to analyze the ethics of ordinary practices—from eating, learning, and loving thy neighbor to borrowing and spending, using technology, and working in a flexible economy. Along the way, they consider the moral and methodological questions that emerge from this interdisciplinary dialogue and assess the implications for the future of moral theology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2005 im Fachbereich Pädagogik - Wissenschaft, Theorie, Anthropologie, Note: 1,0, Universität Erfurt (Erziehungswissenschaften), Veranstaltung: Bildungs- und Berufsbildungstheorie, 32 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: "Humboldt ist tot," so wurde der damalige Bundesbildungsminister Rüttgers von vielen Medien zitiert. Wilhelm von Humboldt ist zwar tot und das seit über 170 Jahren, aber er ist nicht vergessen. Seine Gedanken sind nach wie vor so lebendig, dass sein Name und die von ihm vertretenen Grundsätze wiederholt Anklang in der heutigen Bildungsdebatte finden. Im Bemühen um die Lösung bestehender Erziehungs- und Bildungsprobleme, wie dem sinkenden Leistungsniveau an Schulen und der vorherrschenden Orientierungslosigkeit unter jungen Menschen berufen sich Politiker, Pädagogen und andere Fachleute auf Humboldt oder sie verwerfen ihn. Es gibt sehr unterschiedliche Auffassungen darüber, inwieweit Humboldts Bildungsidee heute noch Einfluss hat, wenn es darum geht, aktuelle Bildungsprozesse zu gestalten. Fest steht, dass sein Geist den wissenschaftlichen Diskurs beflügelt und eine Vielzahl von Autoren das Werk Humboldts auf sehr unterschiedliche Weise gewürdigt haben. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wird aber nicht die Rezeptionsgeschichte Humboldts, sondern der historische Charakter seiner Person im Zentrum stehen. Hierbei kommt es mir vor allem darauf an, das Thema "Humboldt und Bildung" in erster Linie mit Hilfe seiner Gesammelten Werke zu bearbeiten und das Ursprüngliche seiner schriftstellerischen Tätigkeit hervorzuheben. In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es mir auch nicht darum, Wilhelm von Humboldt und seine Theorie der Bildung des Menschen in die aktuelle Bildungsdebatte einzubringen. Vielmehr soll Humboldt und seine Gedanken im Kontext seines Lebens, Schaffens und seiner Zeit beleuchtet werden. Wer war dieser große Denker und was hat sein Verständnis von Bildung geprägt? Was waren seine Vorstellungen im Kern? Di

Download or read book University Jubilees and University History Writing written by Pieter Dhondt and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2014-10-23 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Researching and writing its history has always been one of the tasks of the university, particularly on the occasion of anniversary celebrations. Through case studies of Prague (1848, 1948), Oslo (1911), Cluj (from 1919), Leipzig (2009) and Trondheim (2010), this book shows the continuity of the close relationship between jubilees and university historiography and the impact of this interaction on the jubilee publications and academic heritage. Up to today, historians are faced with the challenge of finding a balance between an engaged, celebratory approach and a more distant, academically critical one. In its third part, the book aims to go beyond the jubilee and presents three other ways of writing university history, by focusing on the university as an educational institution. Contributors are: Thomas Brandt, Pieter Dhondt, Marek Ďurčanský, Jonas Flöter, Jorunn Sem Fure, Trude Maurer, Emmanuelle Picard, Ana-Maria Stan and Johan Östling.

Download or read book Understanding Institutionalized Education written by Roland Reichenbach and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-07-24 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Currently, the school as an institution is faced with a number of controversial expectations on behalf of society and politics in view of its significance, effectivity, and instrumentality. Frequently applied tests and longitudinal studies should measure the performance level of our educational system constantly, but there is still an ongoing disagreement in terms of of the organisation of schools and curricula. This book opposes the monopolizing of the school, arguing that it is irrelevant or guided by particular interests and recent tendencies that solely and primarily define the significance of school by its effectivity. The text defends the school as a place that should enable young people to become sociable and as a place of self-education. In doing so, it differentiates between pedagogical and extra-pedagogical tasks of schools, emphasises the importance of teachers as persons, and stresses the contributions of curricula and education that are fundamental for social cohesion, which are often not acknowledged in pedagogical theory. The book’s plea addresses student teachers and teachers of all subjects and school levels, as well as everybody that is, directly or indirectly, affected by the transformation processes regarding this institution and who wants to engage in a pointedly critical discussion on current reforms.

Download or read book Allies and Rivals written by Emily J. Levine and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2021-09-27 with total page 403 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first history of the ascent of American higher education told through the lens of German-American exchange. During the nineteenth century, nearly ten thousand Americans traveled to Germany to study in universities renowned for their research and teaching. By the mid-twentieth century, American institutions led the world. How did America become the center of excellence in higher education? And what does that story reveal about who will lead in the twenty-first century? Allies and Rivals is the first history of the ascent of American higher education seen through the lens of German-American exchange. In a series of compelling portraits of such leaders as Wilhelm von Humboldt, Martha Carey Thomas, and W. E. B. Du Bois, Emily J. Levine shows how academic innovators on both sides of the Atlantic competed and collaborated to shape the research university. Even as nations sought world dominance through scholarship, universities retained values apart from politics and economics. Open borders enabled Americans to unite the English college and German PhD to create the modern research university, a hybrid now replicated the world over. In a captivating narrative spanning one hundred years, Levine upends notions of the university as a timeless ideal, restoring the contemporary university to its rightful place in history. In so doing she reveals that innovation in the twentieth century was rooted in international cooperation—a crucial lesson that bears remembering today.

Download or read book Forming Humanity written by Jennifer A. Herdt and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2019-08-22 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now in paperback, Forming Humanity reveals bildung, or ethical formation, as the key to post-Kantian thought. Kant’s proclamation of humankind’s emergence from “self-incurred immaturity” left his contemporaries with a puzzle: What models should we use to sculpt ourselves if we no longer look to divine grace or received authorities? Deftly uncovering the roots of this question in Rhineland mysticism, Pietist introspection, and the rise of the bildungsroman, Jennifer A. Herdt reveals bildung, or ethical formation, as the key to post-Kantian thought. This was no simple process of secularization, in which human beings took responsibility for something they had earlier left in the hands of God. Rather, theorists of bildung, from Herder through Goethe to Hegel, championed human agency in self-determination while working out the social and political implications of our creation in the image of God. While bildung was invoked to justify racism and colonialism by stigmatizing those deemed resistant to self-cultivation, it also nourished ideals of dialogical encounter and mutual recognition. Herdt reveals how the project of forming humanity lives on in our ongoing efforts to grapple with this complicated legacy.

Download or read book Phenomenology and Educational Theory in Conversation written by Patrick Howard and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-06-10 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phenomenology and Educational Theory in Conversation challenges the abstract-technical understanding of education to orient the reader to the importance of relationality, intersubjectivity, and otherness to renew and reclaim the educational project. This book treats education as a matter of existence, relationality, and common human concerns. It offers readers an alternative language to reveal and challenge the humanistic encounters that often disappear in the shadows of neoliberalism. The phenomenologists, and educational theorists featured here, offer insights that connect fully and concretely with the everyday lives of educators and students. They offer another language by which to understand education that is counter to the objectifying, instrumentalist language prevalent in neoliberal discourse. This book will be of great interest for academics, researchers, and post-graduate students in the fields of pedagogy, phenomenology, educational theory, and progressive education.

Download or read book Becoming oneself written by Käthe Schneider and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 118 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The basic concern of the volume is to determine the preconditions of personality development and to show their significance and their perspectives for educational science and for pedagogical practice. First, these basic preconditions of becoming oneself are collected in a single volume and discussed in terms of their significance for science and for educational practice. In all fundamental dimensions are understood as precondition of becoming oneself. “Bildung” is here for the first time understood as the formation of the overall individual personality, which the OECD postulates to be the key qualification of the Twenty-first Century. From a pedagogical perspective, it is a matter of furthering the personality. It provides research with a new perspective, in that it makes the furthering of the overall personality the object of education.
