Ausgrenzung der Antike als Problemverlust - zum Verhältnis von Bildung und Arbeit

Abstract

"The exclusion of antiquity as impoverishment of thought - on the relationship between “Bildung” and labor". In contemporaneity the concept of Bildung even at University has been identified more and more with labor. The synonymous use of both terms stands in contradiction to the historic meaning of Bildung at its first occurrence in ancient Greek. The original characterization of Bildung which decidedly excluded any kind of work is no longer taken into consideration. The article reflects on the problematic loss of the historic consciousness of the difference between Bildung and labor and on the debatable consequences resulting in a constrictive and pauperizing development of Theory of Education.
