Raimo Rask : From Plato's Academy to Snellman College
Raimo Rask explores the philosophical and historical roots of General Studies at Helsinki’s Snellman College, offering insights into its educational mission beyond traditional academic models.
Suitable for: For those interested in Waldorf education, Finnish higher education, or the philosophy of university studies.
This booklet reflects on the unique role of General Studies (studium generalia or studium fundamentale) within the curriculum of Snellman College, a Waldorf-Steiner oriented higher education institution in Helsinki, Finland. Tracing the historical and philosophical roots of these general studies, the author situates Snellman College in the broader continuum of perennial universitas thinking and highlights the college's distinct educational mission, which diverges from both university and vocational training models in contemporary Finland.
Raimo Rask has been working as a teacher and lecturer at Snellman College, now retired. His special points of interest have been phenomenological philosophy and Goethean science.
