Pädagogik der Hoffnung im ausgehenden Anthropozän?:

Abstract

Pedagogy of Hope in the outgoing Anthropocene? A Plea for a Pedagogy of Hope within the Boundaries of mere Prognosis

The article marks hope as a mode of dealing with the future. It starts from the finding that hope is not particularly popular in pedagogy. Since pedagogy has increasingly emancipated itself from its religious roots in favor of scientific approaches since the 20th century, the article addresses the scientific approach to the future, prognosis, using the example of predictions about global warming. In a second attempt, it is shown that the category of hope is implicitly inherent in pedagogy as practice and theory, due to its reference to the doubly open future of society and the individual to be educated. Such hope, however, can only be justified in secular pedagogical terms if it respects the limits of scientific prognoses and does not illusionary ignore them. In a final section, two variants of such pedagogically responsible hope are discussed with Ernst Bloch and bell hooks.
