Educational anthropology constitutes a new and important field of education. It deals with central educational con cepts from an anthropological perspective. As historical and cultural anthropology, it takes into account the historicity and culturality of education. The book focuses on major issues of education: The Problem of Human Perfectibility and the Difficulty of Human Change, Mimesis in Education, Culture and Anthropology, Global and Intercultural Education, and Educational Anthropology: A New Perspective on Education. Christoph Wulf is professor of educational anthropology and member of the Interdisciplinary Center for Historical Anthropology at the Freie Universitt, Berlin.

Exploring the interplay between the Anthropocene and globalization, this book delves into their profound impacts on education and human learning. It highlights how these contemporary challenges reshape pedagogical approaches and learning experiences, urging a reevaluation of educational practices in response to evolving societal dynamics.

This book integrates historical anthropology and cultural-historical psychology to enhance understanding of child and youth development and education. It emphasizes communication, semiotic processes, and the role of artifacts in education, featuring contributions that explore innovative methodologies and the dynamic aspects of educational practices and child development.

There is no doubt that it is in Germany that educational science developed as a scientific discipline in its own right when humanist pedagogics, empirical educational science and the Critical Theory of the Frankfurt School merged. These three different paradigms have played such an important part in shaping educational science that it is essential that their convergence be reconstructed and critically reflected.
