Ruhloff stood in the tradition of the so-called Petzelt School , which is committed to a principle-based pedagogy. In this sense, Immanuel Kant is an important point of reference in Ruhloff's work. In addition to writings on aesthetic education and sex education , Ruhloff's research interests focused primarily on systematic questions. Reason , criticism , skepticism and conflict were recurring topoi in Ruhloff's writings, and his habilitation thesis The unsolved norm problem of pedagogy (1979) is probably his best-known publication . In it, Ruhloff established the transcendental-critical-skeptical method, the problematic use of reason of which can be seen as canonical in educational theory informed by educational theory. In the current debate about the educational reform of schools and universities - Ruhloff showed himself to be the sharp critic of these - this work is receiving continuous reception. Several contributions by Ruhloff in the 2000s accordingly address the relationship between educational policy, educational theory and educational research.
