Paul Kellermann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Kellermann (born August 16, 1937 in Stettin ) is a German and Austrian ( dual citizenship ) sociologist .

Kellermann has been teaching as a - now emeritus - university professor for sociology (education, work, industry and business, economy and money) at the Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt and at various universities in Germany, Austria, the USA and Africa for over forty years .

Paul Kellermann coined and theoretically founded the concepts of "Educational Science" (1968/69 Konstanzer Blätter für Hochschulfragen), "Collective Identity" (1972/73 Cologne Journal for Sociology and Social Psychology), "Moneyismus" (2005/07 Verlag für Sozialwissenschaften Wiesbaden).

Thematic focus

Since his fundamental criticism of various variants of early and late bourgeois sociology of order from Auguste Comte to Talcott Parsons in his Munich dissertation published in 1967, Kellermann's main focus has been on economic , educational and monetary sociology. The title of the book published as volume 22 from the Klagenfurt research project “Work and Education” - Socially Required Work and Money (1991) - in the book series “Klagenfurt Contributions to Educational Research” (edited by Kellermann), which has been published since 1977, clearly expresses this overall context out. Work and education are understood as universal, social categories: work in the sense of any activity that makes services available to meet needs; and education as the creation and development of personality structures. It is criticized that in money societies (capitalism) work and education are only understood as gainful employment and training. The naive belief in money is understood as "moneyism".
