John McDowells Bildungstheorie

In this educational philosophical work, the concept of McDowell's education is re-examined from the concept of reason and nature, taking into account the Stoa. Enriched with stoic ideas about the concept of nature, the book reveals new perspectives and yet does not shy away from the examination of the great philosophical frameworks contained in McDowell's theories. Representatives of naturalism are sketched as well as different theories about first and second nature. Moral philosophical parts that show the ethical understanding of the second nature in McDowell, referring to authors such as Kant, Hegel and Aristotle, round off the overall concept. Through the text-analytical reworking of Cicero, Seneca and Marc Aurel, a bridge is then built to McDowell's undefined concept of nature in order to enrich it with the stoic logo.
