This text is important both as one of the most interesting
contributions to the liberalism of the German Enlightenment, and as
the most significant source for the ideas which John Stuart Mill
popularized in his essay On Liberty. Humboldt's concern is to
define the criteria by which the permissible limits of the state's
activities may be determined. His basic principle, like that of
Mill, is that the only justification for government interference is
the prevention of harm to others. He discusses in detail the role
and limits of the state's responsibility for the welfare, security
and morals of its citizens. Humboldt's special achievement in this
work is to enlarge our sense of what a liberal political theory
might be by his particularly sensitive grasp of the complexity of
our attitudes to and our need of other people. Dr Burrow has based
his translation on Coulthard's version of 1854. In an important
introduction, he provides a most perceptive as well as scholarly
guide to Humboldt's political thought.
Linguistic Variability and Intellectual Development, Wilhelm von
Humbolt's most famous work, was published by his brother Alexander
posthumously, in 1836. It promptly established itself as a classic
in the philosophy of language and has held that position ever
since. With many examples from a vast multitude of languages, from
Sanskrit to Delaware Indian, the author shows how character and
structure of a language expresses the inner life and knowledge of
its speakers and how their intellectual development is in turn
shaped by their language.
