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.

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.
