Contribution
According to the Jewish ethic, studying is a ceaseless endeavouring in a dialog or interhuman conversation. It is the continual searching for the means to gain an experience.
Studying in teaching places has a long tradition in the Judaism: This certain studying places or institutions could correspond with the Jewish teaching house „Bet ha Midrasch.“
The German-Jewish philosopher Franz Rosenzweig founded the Jewish adult education centre in Frankfurt am Main in 1920. It was one of the first Jewish facilities for the adult formation and was called the Jewish studying house.
A certain studying structure was conceptualised as an alternative to university in this studying house by the philosophers Franz Rosenzweig and Martin Buber. Rosenzweig criticized university learning, especially frontal lectures and papers, and tried to develop a non-academical and dialogical approach.
Expected Outcomes
On the basis of Franz Rosenzweig’s philosophical essays “Bildung und kein Ende”(Education and no end) and Martin Buber’s “Beiträge zum Jüdischen Lehrhaus”(articles on the Jewish teaching house) I would like to analyse this dialogical education concept of studying.
