Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

American pragmatism is the great antithesis to German idealism and is centrally focused on democracy as the ethical basis of social coexistence. The pedagogy of pragmatism, which is mainly associated with the name of John Dewey or Jane Addams, is the most widespread educational philosophy worldwide, which we will get to know in this seminar.

Assessment and permitted materials

Mid-semester: mandatory, well-prepared reflective paper (abt. 2 pages) concerning the knowledge and questions from the class so far. This will account for 20% of the points that can be earned in the course (max. 4 points).
End-of-Semester: there will be a test with 4 open questions. In each of the questions you can score 4 points, so the maximum number is 16.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Total points: 20; minimum 11 points needed to pass the course.
18-20 = 1
16-17 = 2
14-15 = 3
11-13 = 4
0 - 10 = 5

Examination topics

The exam will be based off of the texts and points made during the seminar.
