" Biopedagogy "

Wolf was of the opinion that every person is faced with life tasks for which six biopedagogical educational goals can be formulated. These tasks are designed in such a way that they can count on a broad consensus even in a multicultural society, namely

• the positive attitude towards one's own life
• the positive attitude towards securing a livelihood through affirmation of work, fulfillment of duties and cultural achievement
• the positive attitude towards fellow human beings through the individual coping with the problem of erosion and reproduction
• the affirmation of and participation in community and global cooperation
• striving for beauty in all areas and forms of life, which finds its fulfillment in the ethically good and in life as a whole
• the expansion of the spiritual horizon in order to be active with far-sighted responsibility and thereby become more like God
