Main focus of work and research

Mührel's work and research focus is on history, theories as well as scientific and philosophical foundations and aspects of social education and social work . It includes social pedagogy as an "educational answer to the social question of an era", social work as a "socio-political movement lever". His predominantly phenomenological and hermeneutic approaches to social pedagogy refer to Emmanuel Levinas , Jacques Derrida , Max Scheler , Werner Marx , José Ortega y Gasset and Michael Winkler . From a historical perspective, he addresses the understanding of social pedagogy in Paul Natorp and especially in José Ortega y Gasset in the sense of a "social pedagogy as a political program" in its current importance for further (global) social developments. In doing so, he includes current tendencies in political philosophy. Mührel also works on philosophical - and also theological - topics based on Blaise Pascal , Michel de Montaigne , Fernando Pessoa and Albert Camus, as well as issues of bio- and anthropotechnologies and information ethics .

Another focus of our work is education for humane and sustainable development.

He also refers to the thinking of a consideration and Convivance at Corine Pelluchon and an Ethos of skill in sympathy Werner Marx, whereby a reason as will be discussed reportedly and receiving as an ethical basis for a formation to a second reconnaissance.
