AB - The crisis of education is a universal phenomenon. This is not only a problem in Korea, nor is it a recent phenomenon. Therefore, the diagnosis of the education crisis should be in-depth and philosophical.
As a young professor at the Department of Classical Literature at Basel University, Switzerland, Friedrich Nietzsche made five lectures on the problems of German education and liberal arts under the title “About the future of our educational institution.” We can find his educational philosophy in other Nietzsche's works, for example, the “Schopenhauer as an educator” in Chapter 3 of the Untimely Meditation. Therefore the critique of modern ideal and educational institutions could be started by Nietzsche's critique of modern liberal arts education.
Nietzsche's criticism of liberal arts education is a matter of philosophical culture criticism. Nietzsche's philosophical reflection on modern education reveals that the contemporary educational crisis is an in-depth issue. In other words, the source of the education crisis is beyond the superficial, temporary policy mistakes and systematic insufficiency, and it is in the modern culture itself. According to Nietzsche, at the root of the education crisis lies the capitalist economic logic of mass education, which ideologically based on democratic equality. The most important function of education is the supply of labor power in market economy. Nietzsche has also pointed out the importance of writing training as emotional education, experiential education, mother language education, self-reflection and expression in liberal arts education.
Nietzsche's enthusiastic and sharp criticism of education requires our thorough and sincere reflection on the educational issue.
