Klaus Mollenhauer's Forgotten Connections: On Culture and
Upbringing is internationally regarded as one of the most important
German contributions to educational and curriculum theory in the
20th century. Appearing here in English for the first time, the
book draws on Mollenhauer's concern for social justice and his
profound awareness of the pedagogical tension between the
inheritance of the past and the promise of the future. The book
focuses on the idea of Bildung, in which philosophy and education
come together to see upbringing and maturation as being much more
about holistic experience than skill development. This translation
includes a detailed introduction from Norm Friesen, the book's
translator and editor. This introduction contextualizes the
original publication and discusses its application to education
today. Although Mollenhauer's work focused on content and culture,
particularly from a German perspective, this book draws on
philosophy and sociology to offer internationally relevant
responses to the challenge of communicating cultural values and
understandings to new generations. Forgotten Connections will be of
value to students, researchers and practitioners working in the
fields of education and culture, curriculum studies, and in
educational and social foundations.
