In the Platonic mind-body dualism, body is considered subordinate to mind, and is sometimes regarded as a
threat to the mind. However, many educators in the spirit of New Education and other reform ist contemporaries
followed Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900), who rejected this dualism and conceived of mind and body
as a whole. Thus, mind-body theories in New Education derive, as has often been pointed out, from philosophy,
especially the philosophy of life. However, they also descend from medical thinking. Paul Geheeb (1870-196
1), a representative of the German Landerziehungsheim movement, worked at an educational institution for
psychopathic children in his youth, and enthusiastically attended the lectures on neurology and psychiatry held
by Otto Binswanger (1852-1929) and Theodor Ziehen (1862-1950) at Jena University. Peter Petersen (1884
-1952), the originator of Jena-Plan, was influenced by the biologist Hans Driesch (1867-1941). Their mind-body theories, based on contemporaneous medical thinking as well as philosophy, had a tendency to
emphasize organic wholeness, a doctrine which was easily integrated into the policies of National Socialism.
