Abstract

General pedagogy as a place for the formulation of basic pedagogical thought is not a closed field with a specific subject, but a point of view that defines what is important in all subdisciplines of pedagogy and in educational practice. The task of such general pedagogy is to introduce the whole educational field into the crucial debates of the humanities – this means getting delivery of contexts to (re)define what is pedagogical. And since the humanities are largely a hermeneutic work over tradition, general pedagogy appears as a perspective of concern for the traditions of pedagogics. This text puts the issue of the general pedagogy in this way, trying to answer the question of what is and what is not a productive concern for tradition.
