Description
Summary:Starting from Wilhelm Dilthey’s concept of understanding, the article inquires into modes of forming competencies within the experience of reflexive education. In line with moder­nity’s understanding of science, the text designates the role of sciences as instances of po­ssible real values (of optional values), whereby the spiritual sciences are ascribed the role of giving meaning by broadening horizons. The article questions the ground that allows for spiritual and pedagogical sciences within the commercialization of university teaching and research activities. In all this, functionalization conducts a process leading to the weakening of the constructive role of these sciences in the formation of competencies.
