  • Summary

  • In this episode we welcome Finn Thorbjørn Hansen, professor in applied philosophy at Aalborg University. Finn published extensively on the phenomenology of wonder and assumes it a key-dimension in higher education, professional studies and existential pedagogy in general. By means of the question “What would happen if we in the curriculum of higher education took seriously that we should learn our students ‘to stand in the open’, that is, really acknowledge that the future is unknown?” he delves into the concept of philosophical literacy and presents a wonder-based research approach that is strongly in line with the phenomenological-hermeneutical tradition as well as current eco-phenomenological thinking. Finally, he outlines how he conducts such wonder-based research in the form of his Wonder-Labs. 00:00:48 – What is applied philosophy? 00:02:08 – What is existential pedagogy? 00:09:18 – The philosophical life as an ideal of Bildung and learning to stand in the open 00:12:33 – Wonder in higher education and learning to deal with the unknown 00:17:10 – What is wonder-based research? 00:26:44 – What is philosophical literacy? 00:29:36 – The existential, the spiritual and the apophatic 00:32:43 – What is a Wonder-Lab? 00:37:38 – A summarizing view of Finn’s academic work and research Further literature: Hansen, F.
