Fall Symposium
Bildung in the 21st CenturyBildung, like Zeitgeist or Weltschmertz, is one of those irreducible German words that have been untouched by translators. While originally used to refer to learning - as distinct from education - and to foreground the spiritual and/or aesthetic sides of life, Bildung is today largely employed to designate the social function of education. Yet, where education has a function, furthering the acquistition of knowledge, skills, and competencies that fulfil the needs and requirements of the day, Bildung, in contrast, is a value in itself: contemplation moving beyond the necessity to survive. In short, if education is on the side of preparing for work and social life beyond school, Bildung is on the side of individuality, ethics, and spiritual independence. Indeed, if education is for now, Bildung is for ever. |
