Title: Pädagogik der Empfänglichkeit – Pedagogy of Sensitivity
Description:

Dominant educational discourses, mainly related to the Humboldtian ideal of education, emphasize the centrality of the individual, who constitutes himself as a subject by appropriating the world (cf. Tenorth 1988: 243-244). Lenzen divides education into the five dimensions of individual existence, individual capacity, individual process, individual selftransgression, and the higher formation of the species (cf. Lenzen 1997: 949-957). Although in the latter dimension, “species” refers to an aspect that transcends subject and generation, its further development as individual self-transgression also represents an achievement to be made by the subject. It is only in the fifth dimension that education is addressed as the “activity of educational institutions or persons,” who thus also influence educational processes. The focus is thus consistently on being active, also in the sense of “self-activity” (Benner, 2005, p. 80), as the guiding principle for learning and educational processes. The pathic moment (Meyer-Drawe 2018: p. 38) of learning and educational processes has been lost in the functionalization of education, as it ultimately anticipated today’s neoliberal tendencies with the Renaissance and once again accelerated by the Enlightenment (cf. Ribolits 2009). For Humboldt, self-activity is interrelated with a second important principle of life and education, namely “receptivity” or “sensitivity” (Humboldt 2017: 7). To what extent can pedagogical theory and action take up this faded principle again and make it productive for dealing with divisive tendencies between I and Thou, human and nature, subject and world? The presentation explores the problems and potentials of a pedagogy of sensitivity as an answer to the dystopias of the present in a global dimension. The polis – in an understanding of communicative action in the lifeworld according to Habermas (1981) – is thematized in terms of the extent to which receptivity can also be recast pedagogically on a global level in the sense of global citizenship education.
