“Education between Politics and Knowledge” by Abu Bakr Rieger

Granada, 13th of August

I. Education and Ideology
II. Education and Psychology
III. Education and Community
IV. Education and Politics (Suggestions)

Ladies and Gentlemen,
When I was invited to give a talk, I was not sure if education is really my subject as such. In reality I am currently more interested in a new understanding of politics/ideology in relation to the phenomenon of psychology. But then I saw a connection between these subjects.

I want to talk about an education which is close to us, close to our situation, here and now. My intention is also to propose another understanding of today’s role of communities.

Let me begin with a dedication:
“Upbringing means acquainting young people with the conditions and
educating them about the conditions under which one can live in the world in
general, and then in particular strata of it.” (Goethe)
