QR code
"Erziehung zur Mannhaftigkeit" by Ludwig Gurlitt is a pedagogical treatise written in the early 20th century. The work aims to explore the concept of manliness and its significance in the education of boys, positing that true manliness encompasses virtues such as truthfulness, courage, endurance, and loyalty. Gurlitt emphasizes the responsibility of educators and parents in nurturing these qualities in young males to prepare them as upright citizens. The opening of the treatise
presents Gurlitt’s reflections on the purpose of his writing, asserting that it is not a systematic psychological analysis but rather an exploration aimed at provoking thought about personal and societal responsibilities related to masculinity. In this section, he shares personal insights, recounting his experiences in the mountains where he penned this work and expressing a desire to inspire "self-reflection" and "will to act" among educators. He critiques contemporary views on masculinity, leaning heavily on historical and cultural examples, including references to notable figures and events that demonstrate ideals of manliness. The beginning sets a contemplative tone, establishing Gurlitt's mission to engage his readers in a discussion that transcends mere definitions, delving into the essence of what it means to be a man in the modern world.
