Bildung and Paideia examines traditional humanistic ideals in light
of philosophical reflection on the need for education of the whole
human being. The study of what it is to be human is traditionally
the task of the humanities. In recent years, however, the
humanities have been increasingly subordinated to technological,
economic, and utilitarian aims. Do the humanities still have a
fundamentally distinct task to fulfil in education? Today's
reduction of educational outcomes to measurable competencies and
economically exploitable skills is opposed to traditional ideals
like that of Greek paideia and the German Romantic concept of
Bildung, which emphasized formation of the whole human being. The
present volume takes as its point of departure the conviction that
the study of 'the human experience'-whether through philosophy,
literature, religion, art, music, history, or languages-has
something specific to offer in the realm of education today. The
individual contributions examine the specific role of philosophy
and the humanities in education from ancient times to the present
and explore possibilities for conceiving philosophical models of
education. The chapters in this book were originally published as a
special issue of the journal Educational Philosophy and Theory.
