Kindertheologie als Schwester der Kinderphilosophie. Ein Vergleich graduell unterschiedlicher Subjektorientierungen.

The article comparatively asks about the form of subject orientation in children's theology and children's philosophy. Central to this is the respective understanding of the subject, which is located in the matrix of strong - weak and static - dynamic. Both children's theology and children's philosophy work with a strong concept of the subject. However, this is more static in children's theology than in children's philosophy. On the strong - weak axis, it becomes clear that children's philosophy is more explicit about the contextuality and interconnectedness of subjects than children's theology. The orientation towards the strong, rather static subject in children's theology proves to be didactically ambivalent. It endangers the goal-orientation, but protects against a didactics of images. The different forms of subject orientation in children's theology and children's philosophy are explained by specific competitive relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
