Ebook: Diskrete Differenzen: Experimente zur asubjektiven Bildungstheorie in einer selbstkritischen Moderne

For humankind, education is an understanding of one's self and the world. Motivated by the impulse of Czech dissident Jan Patocka's (1907-1977) »asubjective pedagogy«, Anselm Böhmer experiments with philosophico-educational drafts from history and (recent) modernity. He utilizes Patocka's educational theory in the current debates concerning education and competence and finds a distinct position in this discourse - precisely owing to discreet-appearing deviations. The following is made clear: that education should be compared less with the acquisition of competence and rather with feeling one's way through attempts to comprehend the self and the world.
