Fra dannelse til identitet

It seems to me that bildung has withered away as a driving force and purpose in society. I would like to argue that the reason for this is that the idea of “world” has been taken out of the whole concept of bildung. In the long run, the result of such withdrawal is a collapse of the possibility of both human experience, plurality, and existence as such. Instead, a new worldless posthumanism is emerging, consisting of identities, statistics, diversity, and strategic algorithms.

What is Bildung?

Bildung is fundamentally about a full and free interaction between the self and the world. This was the definition by Wilhelm von Humboldt back in 1793. Through this interaction, Man develops personally while the layers of the world and
its things are constantly explored. In bildung, therefore, Man
and World appear in a constant and emerging plurality.
