Abstract:
In order to create the European Higher Education Area, it is important to harmonize higher education. Harmony is a terminology from the aesthetic theory (e.g. by Friedrich Schiller). As a contrast to economic philosophy, which is integrated by the Bologna Process, we need aesthetic philosophy, such like shown in the late writings of Michel Foucault, to empower the individual in higher education structure. In my paper, I try to give examples from a student’ s perspective, in which way “homo academicus” could not only be formed according to the ideal of “homo economicus”, but also in accordance with the ideal of “homo aestheticus”.
