Herwig Blankertz gehört zu den einflussreichsten Erziehungswissenschaftlern der Nachkriegszeit in Westdeutschland. Sein Lehrbuch Die Geschichte der Pädagogik (1982) verband sozial- und ideengeschichtliche Perspektiven und stand für eine Selbstbesinnung der Bildungsreformer der 1960er und -70er Jahre. Eine erneute Lektüre eröffnet sowohl vielseitige Blicke auf die Geschichte der pädagogischen Historiografie als auch auf die disziplingeschichtlichen und bildungspolitischen Umstände, unter denen das Buch erschien. Der Sammelband befasst sich mit der Rekonstruktion und Analyse der Entstehung und Wirkung dieses 'klassischen' Lehrbuchs, untersucht Blankertz' historiografisches Arbeiten, beleuchtet einzelne Kapitel vor dem Hintergrund gegenwärtiger Befunde der historischen Bildungsforschung und thematisiert Leerstellen in der Auswahl von Quellen, Themen und Perspektiven. Der Band richtet sich an Erziehungswissenschaftler:innen, Bildungshistoriker:innen und Geschichtswissenschaftler:innen.

For example, the soul‘s view of our earthly life and what may await us after life. Anyone with an open mind and a desire for new ideas will find much inspiration here. The soul says: „From our point of view, life on Earth is very different to how you see it...“ So, be curious.
Lateness and Brahms takes up the fascinating, yet understudied problem of how Brahms fits into the culture of turn-of-the-century Vienna. Brahms's conspicuous and puzzling absence in previous scholarly accounts of the time and place raises important questions, and as Margaret Notley demonstrates, the tendency to view him in neutralized, ahistorical terms has made his music seem far less interesting than it truly is.In pursuit of an historical Brahms, Notley focuses on the later chamber music, drawing on various documents and perspectives, but with particular emphasis on the relevance of Western Marxist critical traditions.
