Abstract (eng)
The current master’s thesis focuses on the concept of Nonviolent Communication
developed by Marshall B. Rosenberg in the 1960s. In a first step, the author positions
Nonviolent Communication in the wider field of philosophical discourse by way of
contextualizing Rosenberg’s approach within general theories of communication, motivation
and anthropology. Taking this conceptualization as a starting point, the thesis subsequently
explores the potential for applying Nonviolent Communication in the field of
institutionalized learning and education, discussing the preconditions and requirements
necessary for said application as well as expectable results and consequences in, and for,
school education.
