Summary/Abstract: In this text the author discusses the crisis of European education from a philosophical viewpoint. First he indicates that a crisis is not only a state which one can find oneself in, but that it has increasingly become the most significant source of philosophical and scientific thought. The debate on the crisis of education started abreast with the first findings of the crisis of European sciences and culture, as presented by Nietzsche, Husserl and Scheler. Based on considerations of certain hypotheses appearing at the time, especially the Neo-Kantian establishment of pedagogy, the author points out three key characteristics of the crisis of education, while the third one is separately analyzed in the context of practical philosophy, Le. of spiritual sciences. It is a question of separating educational subject-matter, of the division of knowledge, a matter of disregarding transcendental and categorical pre-suppositions of knowledge and of fundamental differentiation between teaching and upbringing.
