Origin and object of pedagogical science in Romano Guardini

Abstract:

Romano Guardini is known for his philosophical and theological writings. However, his thought covers other areas of knowledge, such as literary interpretation or the theory of education. In this paper I present his pedagogical thinking. By considering his essay Grundlegung der Bildungleshre the origin and object of pedagogical science is determined. In this study the importance of the concept of contrast (Gegensatz) and figure (Bild) in R. Guardini’s science of education will be examined.

Key words:

Romano Guardini, Pedagogy, Anthropology, Education Theory.
