Wilhelm von Humboldt n'est jamais allé en Grèce et, pourtant, il est l'un des principaux inventeurs d'une Grèce reconstruite à l'usage de l'Allemagne du xixe siècle, le fondateur du mythe grec des Allemands. Sa pensée néo-humaniste est aussi une pensée politique, esquissée dans le projet d'ouvrage sur le déclin de la cité-État grecque qui l'occupa durant son ambassade à Rome et qui affirme la supériorité culturelle du modèle grec. Dans ses réflexions sur l'Antiquité, Humboldt découvre une vaste perspective de recherches : le rayonnement de la Grèce ne peut être compris qu'à travers l'analyse de la langue grecque, dont la supériorité ne peut à son tour être démontrée qu'à travers une description critique de l'ensemble des langues humaines. La Grèce est pour l'Allemagne une porte vers l'universel. Mode de formation des élites, la philologie en fournit les clés et inspire le combat éclairé pour la renaissance de la Grèce. Les contributions réunies dans ce volume mettent en lumière des dimensions fondamentales de l'hellénisme prôné par Humboldt et font percevoir les traces profondes qu'il a laissées dans la pensée du xixe siècle. Elles sont complétées par la traduction de ses principaux textes sur la Grèce.

"Einer weit verbreiteten, auch und gerade in den Poetik-Vorlesungen unserer Tage emphatisch vertretenen Vorstellung zufolge ist der poeta doctus eine historisch versunkene Figur. Seit den letzten Jahrzehnten des achtzehnten Jahrhunderts wird als selbstevident vorausgesetzt, dass man nicht aus dem gelehrten Wissen heraus dichte, sondern aus der unmittelbaren Erfahrung, aus dem sich zum Wort und Bewusstsein drängenden Gefühl. Die hier versammelten Studien Christoph Königs verabschieden diesen Gemeinplatz. Königs Kunst der eindringlich-spekulativen Lektüre erschließt die Intensität der Imagination, die sich dort entzündet, wo Poesie und Philologie eine ebenso innige wie reflektierte Verbindung eingehen. Moderne Dichtung in ihren höchsten Erscheinungsformen erweist sich als sublimierte Hermeneutik, moderne Philologie in ihren bedeutendsten Leistungen als poetisches Leseexperiment. Anhand von exemplarischen Fallstudien (unter anderem zu Wilhelm von Humboldt, Schiller, Goethe, Friedrich Schlegel, Lönnrot, Hofmannsthal, Gadamer, Szondi und Bollack) entwirft Christoph König ein überzeugendes Bild der spannungsvollen Zweiheit von Poesie und Philologie, das unser Verständnis der literarischen Moderne grundlegend modifiziert."

This volume addresses the central question facing the future of higher education around the world, whether and why universities need to exist at all. This book accepts the question’s premise: It is not clear that the university is any longer needed as an institution -- that is, unless its defenders recover what had made the university the revolutionary institution that over the past two centuries has not only defined the shape of modern systematic inquiry but also the distinctiveness of the societies that have housed them. In short, what is required is a reanimation of the spirit of Wilhelm von Humboldt for our times; hence the book's title and subtitle. Humboldt was responsible for relaunching the university as the vanguard institution of 'Enlightenment' to which we continue to pay lip service – and sometimes not much more than that. Admittedly, the task of relaunching Humboldt today is made difficult because many of the concrete achievements associated with the Humboldtian university – not least academic disciplines and nation-states – are increasingly seen as problematic if not obsolete. However, the global reach of the Humboldtian vision in its c19 and c20 heyday offers hope that it may be recovered in c21. The book focuses on the performative character of the academic vocation, what Humboldt memorably characterized as the 'unity of research and teaching' in the same person, a role model for students and society at large. The book's seven chapters develop this theme in a historically and philosophically nuanced way in terms of the Humboldtian vision of knowledge, sense of free expression and critical judgement, and commitment to translation and publicity.
