This collection sheds new light on the nature, role and practice of philosophy and science in the renewed Berlin Academy from the mid-1740s to the 1790s, and in so doing provides a robust new instalment of materials for the broader task of constructing a historiography of philosophy at this important Enlightenment institution. The collection ranges from discussions of the roles of philosophy and natural philosophy in the formation of the reinvigorated Academy in the mid-1740s, to conceptions of the correct philosophical methodology to be deployed by the Academy. It provides the first ever study of the nature and arrangement of the new classes of the Academy, and a fresh appraisal of the Academy's methodological eclecticism. One recurring theme is the status of metaphysics: there are studies of both special metaphysics, including the study of the soul; general metaphysics, that is, the study of being in general; and foundational metaphysical principles and concepts, such as Maupertuis's Principle of least action, Euler's concept of space and Lambert's notion of an experimental metaphysics. The collection also takes the study of the Academy in new directions through focused studies of important figures whose writings deserve to be better understood, such as Jean Bernard Merian, Louis de Beausobre, Jean Henri Samuel Formey and Johann Georg Sulzer.

Karl Richard Lepsius gilt als Begründer der deutschsprachigen Ägyptologie. Wie sehr sein Schaffen die Ägyptologie auch weltweit als eigenes Fach etablierte, zeigen die Beiträge im vorliegenden Band. Die Autoren, jeder ein führender Vertreter der inzwischen weit gefächerten ägyptologischen Forschung, führen uns in die Anfänge des Faches und seiner Teildisziplinen. Sie zeigen, worin die Leistungen Richard Lepsius' für die Schriftentzifferung, für die Religions- und Geschichtswissenschaft sowie für die Archäologie und Museumsarbeit gelegen haben. Mit einer biographischen Einleitung kann der Werdegang des Gelehrten und alle wichtigen Lebensstationen nachvollzogen werden. Dabei bieten die Beiträge viele Details, die anschaulich demonstrieren, wie Lepsius im Kontext der Wissenschaften des 19. Jahrhundert wirkte und Strömungen und Denkansätze seiner Epoche fruchtbar umsetzten konnte. Zwei Nachfahren der großen Familie von Richard Lepsius erweisen mit eigenen Beiträgen dem berühmten Ahnen ebenso ihre persönliche Ehre.
