Methodical principles of pedagogical anthropology

Abstract

Bollnow presents the idea of a pedagogical anthropology as a method for anthropological observation in pedagogy. According to Bollnow, that observation mode can be seen under four principles: the principle of anthropological reduction, the 'organon' principle, the principle of anthropological interpretation of particular phenomena, and the principle of open questions. These principles work together and show movement of anthropological interpretation as a process from the fraction to the whole, from the author to the culture, from the text to the play and vice versa, which, according to the fourth principle never reaches a vision or definite determinations regarding men, open question.
