Der Einfluss der romantischen Naturphilosophie auf die Physikdidaktik

The “Naturphilosophie” of German romanticism was a rather short-lived phenomenon. It flourished between 1800 and 1820 and later on became an outsider's position. This period was too short to establish any significant influence in schools. Only a very few textbooks presenting physics theories based on “Naturphilosophie” exist. But the attitude to nature and to scientific research that was typical for Romanticism remained a topic of didactical discussion even when “Naturphilosophie” itself had become obsolete. The central aspects of this attitude are characterized and their expres-sions in the teaching of physics are discussed. lt is shown how this attitude without the background of “Naturphilosophie” lost its central position in the relation of man and nature and became marginal within the spectrum of pedagogical goals even for its supporters
