In this lecture I discuss Wilhelm von Humboldt’s “Bildungsideal“, his ideal of self-formation and education. I am currently writing a book on this, too. To be published in the course of 2023. You can sign up for updates here
Humboldt’s ideal is very much mine too and I am building my own philosophy university built on it. You can learn more about my Halkyon Academy here
Humboldt envisioned that the university would be the place for the self to actualise the truth of the cosmos. The university as a place for otium, for theoria, was not intended to be an institution of passing on dogmas. Rather, the university was to be a place for self-initiated learning, exploration of one’s inner self, which would, Humboldt was convinced, inevitably lead to greater freedom and the fulfillment of cosmological law. The university was a near sacred place allowing individuals to become themselves and thus the university was envisioned as a bulwark against increasing bureaucratization Humboldt warned against as a malady of modern times.
I’m an independent scholar and your contributions make this work possible. Huge thanks to all my supporters!
