Education, Crisis, Diachronicity and the Transition to a Sustainable Future
This work contributes to education for sustainability with innovative pedagogy and a new conceptual approach. It is based on a realistic assessment of our future in the Anthropocene, based on principles of human security and scientific models of remaining safe operating space. It critiques current approaches to education for sustainability and highlights solutions. A chapter on the ethics of sustainability education provides the conceptual basis for a taxonomy of learning outcomes and a section on how culturally diverse communities of learners can transform their guiding values in today’s classrooms.
Special attention is given to cultural learning, developing shared visions and diverse approaches, collective learning from transition events such as the 2020 pandemic, cultures learning from each other, and teacher education. The book integrates environmental ethics, zero growth and climate mitigation into a blueprint to educate successfully for a Great Transition to a truly sustainable future for a smaller, wiser humanity.

The book series “Culture and Education” includes publications about both the theory and the practical implementation of education. The volumes are selected with regards to the manifold connections among different understandings of culture. At a time of the ongoing quantification and numerical comparison of education processes, the publications of this series share the idea that education is a fundamental and anthropological element of man’s culture. The different volumes of this series focus on the idea that the human being is inseparably connected to, and even dependent with and on, learning. However, learning is always realized in specific cultural contexts.
Examples of this are the relationships between education and religion, education and literature, education and politics or education and aesthetics. With this plurality of possible connections in mind, the series broaches the issue of the relationship between culture and education with regards to three distinct methodological approaches.
First, the series includes work on foundational research that becomes manifest in publications about the philosophy of education. Second, the series includes publications on fundamental ideas of education and their realization in different historical constellations and/or significant works on educational theory. Third, the series includes publications which address the relationship between culture and education from a comparative perspective. These volumes attempt to broaden the intercultural discussion on learning as an anthropological constant.
Eine Einführung in das Denken Minna Spechts
Kinder und Jugendliche zu Verantwortungsbewusstsein, Friedfertigkeit und Kritikfähigkeit zu befähigen – die Pädagogik der sozialistischen Reformpädagogin Minna Specht (1879–1961) hat viele aktuelle Bezüge.

Wie kann trotz der Einschränkung durch Erziehung Freiheit befördert werden? Die systematische Einführung in das Werk von Minna Specht erschließt dieses Kernproblem pädagogischen Handelns. In der Lektüre ausgewählter Schriften Spechts wird gezeigt, dass es in ihrer Pädagogik um die Beförderung von sozialer Freiheit geht. Neben der Theorie und Geschichte der Landerziehungsheime, Spechts Schulversuchen im Exil, der Reeducation nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, der Erziehung zum Frieden in einer sich globalisierenden Welt wird auch die von Specht vorgelegte Didaktik des erfahrungsbasierten Lernens thematisiert.
