Perfektionierung (Zürcher Begegnungen)
by Catrin Heite Christoph Henning Veronika Magyar-HaasZiel des Bandes ist es, den Begriff der Perfektionierung aus jeweils eigenen disziplinären Perspektiven auf seine Aktualität und sein analytisches Gewicht zu prüfen. Der Begriff „Perfektionierung“ gehört nicht genuin zum Vokabular der Erziehungswissenschaft, sondern wurde primär in der neueren philosophischen und soziologischen Diskussion entwickelt. Zugleich lässt sich das Konzept der „perfektibilité“ als pädagogisches ausweisen, mit dem es auch um Bildung als Selbstvervollkommnung, um Streben nach Vollkommenheit geht – stets im Spannungsfeld zwischen Ideal und Überschreitung, zwischen Selbstgestaltung und Selbstzurichtung.
