Abstract

In these next few pages, I ask what might be revealed to us when interpreting Heydorn’s notion of survival through Bildung from a Personalist perspective. By providing commentary on some key passages from Heydorn’s paper, I wish to posit that “Survival Through Bildung” presupposes an ethics of salvation that involves the whole of the human person. I further want to show that this ethics is already present in Heydorn, but it needs to be reconstructed.
