The ›Geisteswissenschaftliche Pädagogik‹ and Pedagogical Understanding. Reconstructing a Complex Relationship
Hermeneutics and the German pedagogical school named ›Geisteswissenschaftliche Pädagogik‹ seem to be connected naturally. The paper investigates this connection by examining which hermeneutic theories the works of Eduard Spranger and Herman Nohl refer to. We will then trace how these theories of reference are used or reworked to develop a theory of pedagogical understanding. Along such a research design we aim to show that a very specific adaptation of different hermeneutical theories is characteristic for the pedagogical work of the two authors mentioned.
