Education is above all self-education and the most harmonious development of the whole person, one could claim, based on the classic philosophy of education. At present, however, education is often only spoken of superficially or in a completely irrelevant way in connection with school and university. The anthology brings together texts from Herder to Schiller, from Humboldt, Hegel, Schopenhauer, Nietzsche and Adorno to Foucault, Koselleck, Rorty and Butler on the topics of the classic concept of education, cultural criticism and overcoming alienation, criticism of false education in the name of life and the problem of semi-education and lack of education – to provide orientation for a discussion of what education is and what it could be.
