Beschreibungen/Notizen

• It was Josef Derbolav who made the student of education familiar with Plato's Sokrates, half a century ago. Meanwhile, being a teacher himself, he found himself engaged in seemingly more practical themes and problems as e. g. the question: What makes a good teacher? When re-reading Platon I was led to a kind of syllogism: Sokrates was a teacher. - We are teachers as well. - Thus, there could be some characteristics of a teacher we have or can have in common with our saint in education, as it were? In other words: Can we learn from that old teacher? My answer is affirmative - not with respect to teaching methods. Rather I suggest that it is the 'virtue' of a subject that matters, the significance in the term's broadest sense a subject taught has in a humane everyday life. (DIPF/Orig.).
