Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Although the human heart was regarded throughout Christianity as THE central instance of goodness and love and was at the center of education at the time, it disappeared almost completely from philosophical and educational reflection in the course of the 19th and 20th centuries (and is found all the more in famous song lyrics by Rod Stewart, Led Zeppelin, Neil Young, Bryan Adams, Phil Collins, Céline Dion or Leonard Cohen).
The most famous pedagogy of the heart, that of the Swiss Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi (1746-1827), will be discussed in the seminar and the question of what significance this reference to the heart could still have today, beyond the famous song lyrics, will be asked again and again.

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
