The goal of this study is to clarify the diverse perspectives of the German philosophy of education based on Hermeneutics, Empiricism and Critical theory.
This study shows that these main streams of philosophy of education in Germany have competitively developed the concept of interpretation, empirical study and ideology criticism as methodology of modern educational research. "Methodic Pluralism" has become the predominate characteristic of the German philosophy of education because of the influence of the postmodernism in the field of education.
In conclusion, this study suggests that the diverse aspects of the German philosophy of education such as interpretation and criticism should be introduced in our educational research, which still clings to positivism and empiricism.
