On Upbringing and Education: Pedagogical Essays and Insights is a unique text which represents important theoretical and methodological insights into the determinants of upbringing and education as well as the most recent defining and decisive crises of upbringing and education in modern society. The book developed as a result of the author’s long years of reflections on social “illnesses” and their impact on upbringing and education and represents a reaction to the systematic institutionalization and instrumentalization that gradually repress the authentic and human need for upbringing and education.
