Soziologische Phantasie und exemplarisches Lernen. Zur Theorie und Praxis der Arbeiterbildung

by Oskar Negt

For the training and education of the workforce, it takes more than just the acquisition of technically usable knowledge. In appropriate educational processes, Oskar Negt sees the only way to stimulate workers to a sociological a mindset that allows the rapidly changing information to be processed in an action-motivating way. Because only this can a self-confidence form to counteract the bureaucratic solidification of mass organisations and parties. "Sociological fantasy and exemplary learning" emerged before that time when, after decades of stagnation, productive approaches to the fundamental change of the education system, especially by the protest movements, were developed for the first time, and carries all the traits of a program that seeks new orientations in a political upheaval phase.

Hilfreiche Grundlagen marxistisch geprägter Arbeiterbildung, die jedoch von zusätzlicher Konkretion profitieren würde.
