Hans-Heinrich Vogt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Heinrich Vogt (born June 14, 1927 in Breslau ) was senior teacher in Ingolstadt and Alzenau , book author and author of natural science broadcasts.

Life

Vogt - born in Breslau - studied chemistry, biology and geography at the University of Munich after the Second World War and worked in Ingolstadt until he took over the school management in Alzenau in September 1968. In 1987 he became head of the Spessart-Gymnasium Alzenau . In addition, he wrote articles for scientific newspapers and wrote more than 20 books in which he explained scientific questions in a way that was understandable for laypeople. For this he received the Wilhelm Bölsche Medal for popular scientific literature in 1968.

Positions

In “We humans are not like that at all” [1964], he compares animal instincts and uses popular science to show which innate instincts and reactions people have. Based on these positions, he can be classified under the primarily biologically (not primarily humanities) inspired anthropologists. Following BF Skinner , Vogt [1966] spoke out in favor of child-like learning with the aid of learning machines.
