“…Subsequently, the key dialectical movement of Bildung, may be described as the (never-ending) interplay between the culturalised self's active and open practical and discursive engagement with the world (e.g. as the potentially always more universal viewpoints of diverse, culturally specific others); a movement, which constitutes the cultural self's concomitant coming into its true being-as crystallised in Hegel's idea of the universal world spirit (Stojanov 2012;Bykova 2020).…”

This paper explores the mystical structure of education as Bildung in medieval theologian and Dominican friar Meister Eckhart’s work and the 2010 French film Of Gods and Men (Des Hommes et Des Dieux). I start this paper with a short introductory sketch of the Bildung tradition, in order to situate my discussion of Eckhart within the more well-known humanist tradition. Here, I claim that Bildung (as we understand it today through the classic Bildung philosophers) points back to its theological heritage and horizon of meaning, when it is claimed as the general tekhnê (art, craft) of making oneself at home in the world with and through others. In my first step, I then explore the intellectual heritage of this mystical structure of Bildung. Drawing on a range of Meister Eckhart’s writings (esp. his German sermons), I elaborate three features pivotal to his concept of Bildung (as image-ing) of the imago Dei (image of God) in the human soul/action: (1) divine grace, (2) human cultivation and (3) the harmonisation of both in (what I shall call) ‘careful gestures'. In my concluding second step, I illustrate this mystical structure of Eckhartian Bildung—with a particular focus on the emergence of careful gestures—through the motion picture Des Hommes et Des Dieux.

“…Ob intelektualnem dobi Bildung do druge polovice 19. stoletja tudi neposredni pomen izobraževanja kot šolanja (Bykova, 2020). Pretežni del stoletja so vodilne izobraževalne ustanove diplomante pripravljale skoraj izključno za državne službe, poučevanje, cerkev in svobodne poklice; ob tem je formalna izobrazba postala pogoj za dvig v Bildungsbiirgertum, moderno (meščansko) meritokracijo.…”

“…In Hegel's system, Bildung is discussed as a complex phenomenon that has a number of important connotations 3 . The most fundamental one describes the process of enculturation , where a successful cultivation of the self can be provided only in intersubjective relationships and in respect to other persons and their needs (Bykova, 2020b, pp. 434–439).…”

“…33Elsewhere one of us argues that there are at least three key meanings in which Hegel uses the term in his writings: (1) as formal education or schooling; (2) as social enculturation; and (3) as the process of ‘acculturation’ in the historical and cultural context (Bykova, 2020b, p. 426; for more details see pp.…”

This article examines approaches to education developed by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and his contemporary and close friend, Friedrich Niethammer, two thinkers who significantly contributed to pedagogy. The aim is not only to compare both thinkers' ideas concerning education, analysing the similarities and the differences between their approaches to education, but also to demonstrate the wider social impact of their educational theories for the contemporary democratic society, which demands an educational system that can accomplish seemingly conflicting tasks. Students must develop holistically as individuals and not simply memorize trivia, but at the same time must be prepared to productive labour. Both thinkers offer complex yet practical solutions to achieving these aims, which makes exploration of their ideas valuable and timely. Although much has been written and discussed concerning the philosophy of education, little consideration has been given to Hegel's own conception of it. Hegel's philosophy of education is rooted in the eighteenthearly nineteenth century tradition of Bildung from which Hegel draws many of the key ideas he employs in his own philosophical and pedagogical writings. Hegel's use of Bildung emphasizes not just formal schooling (Ausbildung), but to an even greater extent the (self-)cultivation (or broadly understood self-formation) of a person through which she realizes her place in the world. Despite a recent increase in scholarly interest, the topic of education in Hegel's philosophy still remains understudied. 1 The same can be said about Hegel's contemporary and close friend, Friedrich Niethammer, an architect of Bavarian educational reforms and a vocal supporter of humanitarian education, whose views on education have not received the attention they deserve. 2 The aim of this paper is to examine the approaches to education developed by both thinkers. We attempt to not only compare their ideas concerning education and demonstrate the key similarities and differences between the two, but also explore the social impact that their educational theories had and conceptualize the complexity and substance of the solutions proposed by both thinkers.
