Ulrich Oevermann is one of the most discussed German-speaking social scientists. He is considered a challenging author not only among students: on one hand, due to the complexity of his language, and on the other hand, because his work is extremely broad and his publications are widely scattered. The introduction to the work of Ulrich Oevermann presents his central concepts, provides clear and comprehensible explanations, and places them in context. Students and anyone who has previously found Oevermann's work difficult to access can gain an entry point to his thoughts and contributions to the social sciences, education, and cultural studies based on this foundation.
