In der angelsächsischen analytischen Erziehungsphilosophie wurde ein Konzept allgemeiner Bildung (Liberal education) herausgearbeitet, das den Bildungsanspruch in wissenstheoretischem Rekurs argumentativ zu legitimieren und zu begründen versucht. Dabei geht sie von einem differenzierten Erfahrungs- und Wissensfeld aus, das an öffentliche Standards der Verständigung gebunden ist. Diese Theorie wird an zwei ausgewählten Beispielen geprüft: Einerseits an den US-amerikanischen Debatten um die "cultural literacy" und andererseits an den Auseinandersetzungen um die Einführung des "National Curriculum" in England und Wales. Abschließend wird der Zusammenhang einer wissenstheoretisch fundierten Theorie der Liberal education mit bestimmten politischen Optionen diskutiert. Dabei wird sich zeigen, daß hinsichtlich politischer Zuordnungen dieser Theorie keine systematische Notwendigkeit besteht, und daß das Konzept einer integrierenden Allgemeinbildung in demokratischen, sozialen Staaten unverzichtbar und gleichzeitig nicht beliebig multikulturell ausrichtbar ist. (DIPF/Orig.) ; In the Anglo-Saxon analytical philosophy of education a concept of liberal education has been conceived which aims at an argumentative legitimation and foundation of the claim to educate by drawing on the theory of knowledge. In this, it proceeds from a dilferentiated field of experience and knowledge which is bound to public Standards of communication. This theory ist examined on the basis of two examples: the American debate on cultural literacy, on the one hand, and the conflict concerning the introduction of the National Curriculum in England and Wales, on the other. In a final part, the author discusses the relation of a knowledge-theoretically grounded theory of liberal education with certain political options. In this, it will be shown that there is no systematic need to politically classify this theory and that the concept of an integrative general education is absolutely required in demoeratie, social states, yet cannot be adapted to every possible cultural orientation.

The 1944 Education Act was a crucial piece of British legislation - one of the most important this century. It was passed against a background of war and growing popular demand for social reform. It provided a framework for the education service which remained largely intact for almost fifty years. Since 1988, however, with the introduction of a National Curriculum and competition between schools, the workings of the Act have been largely dismantled. In The Making of the 1944 Education Act, Michael Barber presents a lively evaluation of the Act - its background, passage and effect - fifty year
