Abstract

Student teachers must learn to address the complex and demanding political and ethical dilemmas which can either enable or undermine democratic struggles for rights. Combining Dietrich Benner’s non-affirmative theory of formation and the political philosophy of Hannah Arendt we introduce a didactic methodology based on Arendt’s interpretation of thinking. We argue that a concept-oriented approach, focussing on core concepts (such as freedom, conscience, equality, responsibility) can stimulate learners to reflect on the multiple, equivocal, and historically contingent trajectories of human rights and qualify teachers to address dilemmas in the cross-roads between HRE and RE.
