The meaning of ‘Authority’ and ‘Conservation’ in education: focusing on Hannah Arendt’s ‘The crisis in education’

Based on the discussion of Hannah Arendt's authority and conservation in education, this paper aims to diagnose the reality that the current teaching authority is weakening and to explore the direction in which the authority of education should be directed. Hannah Arendt's authority is related to tradition. As traditions closely related to authority are weakened and dismantled, the authority of education in schools with an intermediate character between the private and public spheres is also weakening, and Hannah Arendt's conservatism in education, as stated in ‘The crisis in education’, argues that teachers should take responsibility for the world and children and play the essential role of education based on the authority that can be taught based on the nature of education, which is raising children and preserving traditions.
