Recent devaluations of a liberal arts education call the formative
concept of Bildung, a defining model of self-cultivation rooted in
18th and 19th century German philosophy and culture, into question
and force us to reconsider what it once meant and now means to be
an "educated" individual. This volume uses an arc of
interdisciplinary scholarship to map both the epistemological
origins and cultural expressions of the pivotal notion of Bildung
at the heart of pursuit in the humanities. From its intriguing
original historical manifestations to its continuing resonance in
current ongoing debates surrounding the humanities, the editors
urge us to ask and discover how the classical concept of Bildung,
so central to humanistic inquiry, was historically imagined and
applied in its original German context.
