How German philosophy created the modern education
system.
Why is education the way it is? Why does the bell ring to
signal the end of a lesson? Who invented teacher training? Why do
universities combine teaching with research? It might surprise you
to learn that the answers to these questions can be found in the
writings of early 19th Century German philosophers. This episode
looks at the German Idealists, a group including Kant and Hegel,
inspired by the Enlightenment and the spirit of Romanticism
following the French Revolution, who set the mould for the
education systems of today.
