This book is about the idea of the university in modern Germany.
Its primary focus is how the Humboldtian tradition was transformed
and how it gave direction to debates around higher education. By
combining approaches from intellectual history, conceptual history
and the history of knowledge, the study investigates the ways in
which Humboldt's ideas have been appropriated for various purposes
in different historical contexts and epochs. Ultimately, it shows
that Humboldt's ideals are not timeless - they are historical
phenomena and have always been determined by the predicaments and
issues of the day. Nevertheless, many of the key concepts and
fundamental ideas have endured throughout the twentieth century,
though they have been interpreted in different ways. An electronic
