Weber, Humboldt, university crisis, history of ideasAbstract
Max Weber’s specialists and biographers have not considered it very interesting to reflect about this author’s critique of the German university. In my opinion, many of the holes and difficulties in meaning we still find in his works and life come from this broad and decisive lack of knowledge. In my essay, I try to start filling this gap, studying the way Weber answers to and updates the educational challenges of the founder of the modern German University: Wilhelm von Humboldt.
