Ursula Reitemeyer-Witt

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ursula Reitemeyer-Witt (born May 1, 1955 in Castrop-Rauxel ) is a German educational scientist , philosopher and professor at the Institute for Educational Science at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster .

Life

Ursula Reitemeyer grew up in a Catholic doctor's household. After graduating from high school at Dortmund's Schillergymnasium , she studied philosophy , educational science , Catholic theology and art history in Münster and finished her studies in 1983 with a dissertation on the philosophy of corporeality on Ludwig Feuerbach with Friedrich Kaulbach . Her habilitation took place in 1996 through Rousseau .

She initially worked as an assistant, private lecturer and substitute professor at the University of Münster, where she was appointed adjunct professor in 2010. In addition, she took on teaching positions at the universities in Vechta and Dortmund as well as a substitute professorship at the LMU Munich. Their children Johanna and Jakob were born in 1985 and 1990.

research

Her teaching and research focuses include the philosophy of the Enlightenment (Rousseau, Mendelssohn and Kant), Young Hegelianism , especially Ludwig Feuerbach, educational theory and philosophy, upbringing and education after Auschwitz, and critical theory according to Horkheimer and Adorno . In this context, the interdisciplinary project “Remembrance work in school and society” was created in collaboration with the historical site Villa ten Hompel.

Studies in the history of philosophy based on a post-Hegelian philosophy of history form the focus of her teaching. In addition, she is working on a philosophical anthropology with a practical intention, which strives to win back anthropology for practical philosophy and, as a result, to oblige the positive sciences to recognize human dignity. On the one hand, it ties in with what Marx called "real humanism" in Feuerbachian style, and also with Max Horkheimer and Friedrich Kaulbach, who argue not as "metaethicists" but as teachers who express the good themselves.

Since 2004 Ursula Reitemeyer has been President of the International Society of Feuerbach Researchers (Societas ad Studia de Hominis Conditione Colenda), editor of the international Feuerbach Studies and, since 2011, head of the International Feuerbach Research Unit at the Institute for Educational Science at the University of Münster. She organized several international and interdisciplinary Feuerbach conferences, among others, in the field of religious philosophy (Feuerbach and Judaism), historical educational research (The political Feuerbach) and pedagogy (philosophy and pedagogy of the future). In the last-mentioned conference, the broadly educational writings of Friedrich Feuerbach, the younger brother of the famous Vormärz philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach, were discussed for the first time and used as a basis to check whether Feuerbach's body anthropology can be used for educational theory and pedagogical issues. Since 2000 she has published the series "Ethics in Teaching", in which the pedagogical ethos is a particular theme. This research approach differs from output-oriented didactics and stands on the horizon of an ethics of recognition and discourse.

Sporting commitment

Reitemeyer has been playing table tennis since 1967 and since 1977 for Borussia Dortmund's first women's team . Your top division was the women's league. For several years she has been training and looking after Borussia Dortmund's young table tennis players. At the 2015 general meeting, she and former BVB goalkeeper Stefan Klos were unanimously elected cash auditor. In 2018 she was honored by Borussia Dortmund for her forty years of membership at the general meeting.
