Karl R. Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein as Teachers

Two Biographies and Two Concepts of Philosophy of Education

Abstract

This article explores lesser known facts about two most prominent twentieth-century philosophers: Karl R. Popper and Ludwig Wittgenstein. It reconstructs their practices as school teachers and puts them in the context of the models of philosophy of education described by them in some of their works. Their teaching experiences, however, differed in many respects, and these differences might serve the purpose of presenting how their conceptual work was put by them into practice and how it worked out for them. It also brings the historical context of the school reform introduced in Austria in the 1920s and shows how this very reform affected their concepts of education and how they introduced them in the schools in which they worked.

Keywords:

Ludwik Wittgenstein, Karl R. Popper, school, teaching experience, philosophy of education
