Titel: Functional Learning as an Ideology of Modern Society? A Sociological Reading of Rahel Jaeggi’s Theory of Progress
Autor: Kristoffer Klement
Seite: 325-345

The text applies a functional ideology analysis to Rahel Jaeggi’s theory of progress in order to demonstrate its capacity to orient practices and values in modern societies. It examines the problem-solving competencies of her concept of progress within a context of highly differentiated social structures and shows that the ideologeme of functional learning proposed by Jaeggi could offer a comprehensive yet complex orientation toward progress due to its formal abstraction. However, this potential is still constrained by requirements of specification and the occurrence of learning conflicts, both of which are also rooted in society’s differentiation. Addressing these issues calls for further development of Jaeggi’s theory, particularly by elaborating a perspective on conflicts of learning processes.
