Preuischer Staatsmann, Schulreformer, Philosoph und Sprachforscher - Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) wirkte auf vielen Gebieten. Seine liberalen, dem Neuhumanismus verpflichteten Ideen fuhrten zu weit reichenden Veranderungen im preuischen Bildungswesen. Auf ihn gehen u. a. die Grundung der Berliner (spater Humboldt-) Universitat sowie des Humanistischen Gymnasiums zuruck. Sie stehen ganz im Zeichen eines universalen Bildungsideals, das die Freilegung aller individuellen Krafte v. a. durch die Beschaftigung mit der antiken Literatur sowie mit dem Medium Sprache, aber auch in der Auseinandersetzung mit anderen Wissenschaften, zum Ziel hat. Selbst mehrere europaische Sprachen beherrschend, galt von Humboldts grote Aufmerksamkeit der analytischen Erforschung samtlicher Sprachen der Welt. Die von 1903 bis 1936 von der Koniglich Preuischen Akademie der Wissenschaften durch Albert Leitzmann, Bruno Gebhardt und Wilhelm Richter herausgegebene 17-bandige Ausgabe der Gesammelten Schriften Wilhelm von Humboldts stellt bis heute die bedeutendste Humboldt-Werkedition dar. Nach wie vor vereinigt sie als Einzige die u. a. aus dem handschriftlichen Nachlass stammenden, breit gefacherten Arbeiten des groen Denkers. Sie werden, thematisch und chronologisch geordnet, in vier Abteilungen prasentiert: Werke (u. a. literarische, sprachwissenschaftliche, philosophische Abhandlungen), politische Denkschriften, Tagebucher und politische Briefe. Das 17 Bande umfassende Set kann geschlossen bezogen werden, aber auch die Lieferung von Einzelbanden ist jetzt erstmals moglich.

This monumental work by the German linguist Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835), published posthumously in 1836-9, analyses the classical literary language of Java. Volume 1 includes Humboldt's 1836 essay on language and a preface by his brother Alexander, and discusses Sanskrit and Buddhist influences on Javan language and society.

This classic study of human language remains one of the most interesting and important attempts to draw philosophical conclusions from comparative linguistics. This 1999 volume presents a translation by Peter Heath together with an introduction by Michael Losonsky that places Humboldt's work in its historical and philosophical context.

This text is important both as one of the most interesting contributions to the liberalism of the German Enlightenment, and as the most significant source for the ideas which John Stuart Mill popularized in his essay On Liberty. Humboldt's concern is to define the criteria by which the permissible limits of the state's activities may be determined. His basic principle, like that of Mill, is that the only justification for government interference is the prevention of harm to others. He discusses in detail the role and limits of the state's responsibility for the welfare, security and morals of its citizens. Humboldt's special achievement in this work is to enlarge our sense of what a liberal political theory might be by his particularly sensitive grasp of the complexity of our attitudes to and our need of other people. Dr Burrow has based his translation on Coulthard's version of 1854. In an important introduction, he provides a most perceptive as well as scholarly guide to Humboldt's political thought.
