Bildung zur Kultur einer Pluralität des Menschen

This book is the first to systematically reconstruct the complete works of the Swiss-Jewish cultural philosopher Michael Landmann (1913–1984) and make them fruitful for teaching purposes: as a philosophical theory of the teaching of cultural plurality. The multiplicity of human life forms represents the content and target horizon of educational processes as well as the underlying value and prejudice of Landmann's anthropology. Taken seriously as such, cultural plurality is the yardstick of a humanity that starts from the natural and cultural artificiality of being human and in which the boundaries of what is human are mediated: spiritually and communicatively in dialogical encounters, and culturally and practically in the formation of lifestyles.
