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 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.

Homme d'Etat et philologue, Charles Guillaume de Humboldt (1767-1835) a révolutionné notre conception du langage avec son célèbre essai : Sur la différence de structure des langues humaines, et son influence sur le développement intellectuel de l'humanité. Après avoir fixé l'opposition des langues européennes et de la langue chinoise, il a montré comment celle-ci était dépourvue de structures grammaticales et correspondait au concept de mentalité primitive dégagé par les philosophes du début du XXe siècle. Grâce à sa connaissance du sanscrit (dont se réclame la famille indo-européenne), Humboldt a pu également expliquer d'après la grammaire des concepts comme ceux de traduction, de poésie, etc. Le présent ouvrage est le premier, en France, à rendre pleinement justice à l'apport capital d'Humboldt à la linguistique, que l'on peut ici considérer comme une branche essentielle de l'arbre philosophique. Ecrit dans une langue claire, parfaitement informé, ce livre est indispensable à quiconque s'intéresse aux structures du langage, et donc au fonctionnement de l'esprit humain.

In The Humboldtian Tradition , eleven scholars consider Wilhelm von Humboldt as a historical phenomenon and a contemporary symbol. Inspired by the growing body of literature that in recent years has problematized the modern research university, they put Humboldt’s basic academic principles into context and discuss their significance for the current debate about higher education. The authors draw on the latest research in order to bring the educational and research policies of our day into perspective. At a time when the university is undergoing deep-seated transformations worldwide, they address the question how we should relate to the ideas associated with Humboldt’s name. What is his relevance to the twenty-first century? Contributors are: Mitchell Ash, Pieter Dhondt, Ylva Hasselberg, Marja Jalava, Peter Josephson, Thomas Karlsohn, Claudia Lindén, Johan Östling, Sharon Rider, Hans Ruin, Susan Wright.
