Der europäische Bildungskanon des bürgerlichen Zeitalters

The PISA study has shown that Germany is also in an educational crisis. At the same time, however, education in the classical sense is no longer in demand in the tests that are designed to test the ability to read a manual and its practical implementation rather than the understanding of literature. for centuries there has been a uniform European education. From the early Middle Ages to the first third of the 20th century, every important innovation was implemented across the continent with little delay. The time, however, when the philosophical, artistic and scientific tradition was alive, when an educational canon was binding, seems to be over - and yet both are still formative for our culture today. The newly sparked canon debate is an indication of this. After defining the terms "education" and "canon", Manfred Fuhrmann describes the recipe.
