We offer five individual modules in the following areas of German philosophy:
1. Arthur Schopenhauer: in Kant’s footsteps.
2. Wilhelm von Humboldt and his educational ideology.
3. Ernst Haeckel and social Darwinism.
4. Walter Benjamin and art in the age of technical reproducibility.
5. Rudolf Bahro and renunciation of the GDR.
We would also be pleased to hear about your own particular areas of interest and will gladly expand our repertoire to include these. The modules combine intensive study of philosophers and their historical context, with an exploration of Berlin’s philosophical treasures. The knowledge of philosophical history which you will gain from the lectures will be brought to life through visits to theaters, museums, memorials, historical graveyards and the former homes of philosophers.
Faculty Information:
A harmonious, multi-talented and committed team of teachers, each with their own specialist areas, awaits you at our Institute to prepare you thoroughly for the German examination of your choice (ZD, ZMP, DSH or TestDaF). Our teachers are highly qualified, and have substantial experience in teaching German as a Foreign Language, in addition to being equipped with knowledge of the language and culture of the students they teach. This enables them to give their students culturally sensitive support in the appropriate language – an all-important asset in your first few months of acclimatization in Germany.
