Description
INTRODUCTION In pedagogical and didactic literature one usually says that Bildung was defined by the German philosopher Immanuel Kant in 1784 (Kant [26] 1784, Slagstad 2003). In his famous article on being enlightened and educated he emphasized that "a person is enlightened when this person leaves his or her self-inflected incapability of managing own affairs". And incapability of managing one's own affaires means "lack of using one's intellect without guidance from somebody else". Hence, when a human being has been enlightened in this definite respect he or she has got Bildung. So in this way the concept of Bildung is now well defined. Or as Kant also stated this shortly in Latin: "Sapere aude", i. e. "Dare to know".
