Beschreibung

The book aims to challenge and redefine the traditional Enlightenment approach to education by advocating for a Post-Enlightenment model that emphasizes self-education rooted in individual autonomy, dignity, and diverse experiences. It critiques the Enlightenment's narrow focus on rationality and hierarchy, proposing a more inclusive and personalized method that values emotional intelligence and contextual understanding. The book seeks to promote a radical shift towards educational pluralism, where learning is driven by the learner's own needs, interests, and judgments, rather than imposed by external authorities. Ultimately, it calls for a reimagined educational paradigm that aligns with the principles of universal human dignity and autonomy, envisioning a future where education is a personal and existential pursuit supported by democratic societal structures.
