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.

Humboldt: 'On Language'

On the Diversity of Human Language Construction and its Influence on the Mental Development of the Human Species

Wilhelm von Humboldt's classic study of human language was first published in 1836, as a general introduction to his three-volume treatise on the Kawi language of Java. It is the final statement of his lifelong study of the nature of language, exploring its universal structures and its relation to mind and culture. Empirically wide-ranging - Humboldt goes far beyond the Indo-European family of languages - it 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 context and discusses its relevance to contemporary work in philosophy, linguistics, cognitive science, and psychology.

Linguistic Variability and Intellectual Development

Linguistic Variability and Intellectual Development, Wilhelm von Humbolt's most famous work, was published by his brother Alexander posthumously, in 1836. It promptly established itself as a classic in the philosophy of language and has held that position ever since. With many examples from a vast multitude of languages, from Sanskrit to Delaware Indian, the author shows how character and structure of a language expresses the inner life and knowledge of its speakers and how their intellectual development is in turn shaped by their language.

Über die Verschiedenheit des menschlichen Sprachbaues und ihren Einflu§ auf die geistige Entwickelung des Menschengeschlechts

Wilhelm von Humboldt's classic study of human language was first published posthumously in 1836 and influenced generations of scholars of language including Boas, Sapir and Chomsky. In the later twentieth century, Humboldt's pioneering philosophical and linguistic works began once again to attract scholarly attention in their own right, and in the context of Humboldt's lively communication with other leading scholars of his day. This book, now reissued, summarises the author's theoretical views of language, its universal structures and its relation to mind, education and culture. It ranges far beyond the Indo-European languages and explores the ways in which the grammatical structures of languages make them more or less suitable as instruments of thought and cultural development. Humboldt also addresses the relationship between written and spoken language. To this day, this landmark publication remains one of the most significant attempts to draw philosophical conclusions from comparative linguistics.

Über die Kawi-sprache auf der Insel Java

Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) was a German philologist, diplomat and philosopher. While Minister of Education he was responsible for reforming the Prussian education system. His pioneering achievements in linguistics influenced many later scholars including Chomsky. This monumental three-volume study of Kawi, a traditional formal and literary language of Java belonging to the Austronesian language family, was posthumously published in 1836-9. The manuscript was prepared for the press by J. K. E. Buschmann, a protégé of Humboldt's friend and colleague Bopp (also reissued in this series). Humboldt considered Kawi, which includes many Sanskrit loan-words, to be the common ancestor of all the Malayo-Polynesian languages, though this view is no longer accepted. Volume 1 begins with a preface by Humboldt's brother Alexander describing Wilhelm's extensive academic network, and reprints Wilhelm's famous 1836 essay on language, before focusing on the question of Indian (Sanskrit and Buddhist) influences on Javan language and society.

Volume 2 analyses the roots and grammatical structures of Kawi as attested in religious texts and heroic epics, and provides cross-linguistic data to demonstrate its relationship with other languages of the region.

Le Goethe-und-Schiller-Archiv de Weimar conserve un document fascinant : les « Instructions pour la réalisation d’une carte générale des langues » adressées par W. von Humboldt à Goethe le 15 novembre 1812. Elles devaient fournir à ce dernier les indications nécessaires à l’établissement d’une carte des langues d’Europe qu’il avait appelée de ses vœux à la suite d’un séjour commun à Carlsbad en juin 1812. Bien que Goethe se soit attelé à la tâche, jusqu’à faire monter sur des planches à dessin des fonds de carte d’Europe afin de les colorer, rien ne prouve que la carte ait été effectivement produite. Seul subsiste aujourd’hui ce document. Encore inédit en Allemagne, il est reproduit en fac-similé et traduit ici pour la première fois.

Témoin d’un projet plus vaste de cartographie des langues du monde, le texte ouvre une fenêtre sur un moment particulier de l’histoire, et de la rencontre, des études linguistiques et de la cartographie. Outre la carte elle-même, réalisée aujourd’hui, nous proposons au lecteur des voies d’approche pour mieux comprendre ce projet dans son contexte scientifique et littéraire, en retraçant ses étapes successives, en explorant le rapport entre langues et géographie chez Humboldt, en le replaçant dans le contexte de l’histoire de la cartographie et en éclairant le rôle des représentations spatiales et des cartes dans l’œuvre de Goethe.

Édition de David BLANKENSTEIN, Julien CAVERO, Mandana COVINDASSAMY et Sandrine MAUFROY.
