Hermeneutics of the Educational Process: Bildung as Collective Intentionality

Abstract

In this essay I try to put in dialogue the philosophy of education present in the work and thought of Wilhelm von Humboldt with the reflection on the social agency and collective intentionality as presented in some of the most recent studies of social ontology, especially in reference to the work of Michael Bratman and Raimo Tuomela. My analysis intends to meet the objects of the research of von Humboldt on education and those of Bratman and Tuomela on acting collectively in order to answer the following questions: (1) can the educational process be studied and analyzed as a form of a collective action? (2) if so, what kind of team reasoning and what kind of planning does the educational process require to be successful?
