Thomas Mann’s Magic Mountain has been known as one of the most famous german Bildlungsromans. It is still controversial definitely to say that Magic Mountain is typical of Bildungsroman through the tradition of not only german literature in general, but also of german novel in particular. Typical or not, Magic Mountain is to be classified as Bildungroman anyway.
In Magic Mountain are four types of educator invited to the sanitarium by Thomas Mann. They are in charge of liberal arts education for Hans Carstorp, our ordinary 23-year-old young man as homo viator. They are also the representatives of homo-humanus, homo-scholasticus, homo-romanticus, and Homo-Dei. Our hero, a marine engineer in the foreseeable future, is at first between Septembrini as homo-humanus and Napta as homo-scholasticus, and then between Septembrini and Chauschat as homo romanticus, at last between Chauschat and Peperkorn as Homo-Dei.
Through the liberal arts education by team-teaching of four teachers Castorp comes to overcome the duality like water and oil, to keep the sense of balance in the middle of two poles, and to make a positive use of duality for coexistence of the opposite. Finally our Castorp as the integrated hero makes an important decision to engage in the World War, even on his own initiative. His self-directed decision to join war is the most important effectiveness of ‘Bildung’ in the Magic Mountain.
The purpose of this paper is also 1. to provide a model of interdisciplinary liberal arts education which was introduced in the Magic Mountain by Thomas Mann and could be applicable in the field of liberal arts education in the 21st century, 2. to make an image of cultured young man who was educated by four different teachers in the Magic Mountain and could be integrated enough to go his own way, 3. to give some examples of capabilities which were strengthened through the liberal arts education on the Magic Mountain and could be a guideline on evaluating the effectiveness of that education. |
