  Motivated by Gadamer's identification of Bildung's ‘Vorbild‐Bildung‐Nachbild’ (model‐process‐result) structure, a historical tracing of the Christian messianic heritage in Bildung is conducted. As Bildung grows into an educational concept with global aspirations, this heritage might prove a substantial theoretical obstacle. As an alternative to the Christian messianic conception of time, Crockett and Malabou's concept ‘plastic time’ is presented. Whereas Christian messianic time collects its drive from the eternal which is (not) to come, plastic time collects its drive from the ‘synaptic gap’ instead, the creative and constructive space located and organised in the human body. Crockett and Malabou argue that plastic time might allow the deconstruction of Christianity, and, this article suggests, consequently also of Bildung. A formulation of Bildung that can go beyond Western thinking would be a shift that might have consequences for education generally.

  Sometime around 500 BCE, Heraclitus is supposed to have said that it is impossible to step in the same river twice. Since then, the problem of being and change has never left Western philosophy. Evidently important in and to education, change continues to be an important field of inquiry. In this text, I approach the concept of change by way of an examination of Catherine Malabou’s philosophy of plasticity. I revisit what I identify as three main moments in her philosophy: Her re-elaboration of Hegelian time and dialectics as the process through which change happens; the open potentiality of the moment as she finds it in Heidegger; and change as driven by, and dependent on, concepts and schematization as she finds it implied in Derrida. By setting change at the center for what might be called her post-post-structural, materialist, yet non-deterministic ontology, Malabou’s three moments could open up for a rethinking of the changeable character of the Nordic model, as well as the character of ethical-political education.

  This is a philosophical study of the concept of Bildung in light of the philosophy of Catherine Malabou. Her work is centred around the concept plasticity, of dialectical and deconstructionist descent and informed by neuroscience. Considering Bildung a particular idea of the relation between education, society, history, and individuality, the thesis identifies change, power, and temporality as foundational aspects of this idea. These aspects are then critiqued on the basis of plasticity, which sees form as the primordially mutable and foundational unit of thought. Form is the material accumulation of the reception of form, of self-change, and of accidents. In this light, Bildung appears as a plastic form, inhabiting, challenging and changing the material body, doomed to continually renew itself. Overall, the thesis prepares the ground for a ‘plastic Bildung’, a new metaphor for education. Plastic Bildung exists in the meeting point between symbols, matter, and self-change. It suggests a shift in emphasis from the preparation of children for the future to opening up a space where the student and history - subjects, techniques, ways of thinking - may meet.
