Familiarity with cultural and intellectual heritage has long been considered the key to being truly human, especially in Germany: an educated bourgeois anachronism? Or are there new ways to discover the treasures of the past for oneself and to make them fruitful for one’s own life?
Jan Roß, author of Bildung – Eine Anleitung (Education – A Guide), attempts an answer: education, he concludes, is by no means an elitist concept of yesterday, but rather a promise of happiness that is completely unspent.
Jan Roß studied classical philology, philosophy, and rhetoric and has been a member of the political editorial staff of DIE ZEIT since 1998. From 2013 to 2018, Jan Roß was the paper’s South Asia correspondent based in Delhi, India.
