Tóm tắt
This paper asks whether there is a future for the age-old educational ideal of Bildung. It is argued that the modern conception of Bildung in terms of "rational autonomy" should be understood as the educational answer that was given to the political question about citizenship in an emerging (modern) civil society. Raising the question about the future of Bildung therefore means to ask what educational response would be appropriate in our time. It is argued that our time is one in which the idea of a universal or total perspective has become problematic. We now live in a world of difference in which the rational autonomous life is only one of the possible ways to live. Beyond totalisation and isolation, a possible future of Bildung might be found in the experience that we can only live our life with others. In a "world of difference" Bildung might follow from a questioning of "one's right to exist" (Levinas). In this respect Bildung can happen anywhere and not necessarily in those parts of the "Bildungssystem" that educators are most familiar and comfortable with (i.e., the school). Bildung becomes a lifelong challenge and a lifelong opportunity. © 2002 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
