Die Beziehung zwischen dem Lehrmeister und dem Schüler in der neukantischen Philosophie

Abstract

The relationship between the teacher and the student seems to be an integral part of our historical and cultural reality in which contents value are regarded as transmitted from generation to generation. This relationship is a primary type of cell in the transfer of the culture and the best illustration is taken by our academic teaching activity. The aim of the lecture is an attempt to apprehend the essence of the master-student relationship. I present this issue on the basis of selected examples of academic philosophers with reference to four different types of reference scale of the master-student relationship. The community first stage is characterized by the fact that all the members of the founding declare the same philosophical views. The second stage is characterized by the community in which the founder only partially controls the activities of the group and philosophical influences proclaimed by the views of its members. The third level of the community is deprived of the personal control and includes conscious successors and followers of specific aspects of the philosophical activity and the authority of the master. The fourth stage is found in the beliefs of people who unknowingly reproduce existing philosophical beliefs, without the intention to establish the views of their predecessors.
