The Pedagogy of Friedrich Schleiermacher
The Continuity of the Educational Problem in Modernity
It is contested whether education – in a broad sense of the word – might be seen as universal and continuing in its basic structure, as anthropologists would say, or is given only in different forms depending on the historical given society, as sociologists claim. In the theory of education, Schleiermacher is quoted as a follower of not a founding author of the thesis of discontinuity. However it can be shown that he developed an universal view on education and its socialising as well as individualising impacts, but explained that socially and political broken societies, affected by class structures, for example, have to be changed by an education with political impacts.
