This book focuses on Wilhelm von Humboldt as an educational researcher. It presents the latest developments in research from renowned representatives of various humanities disciplines. Humboldt is recognized as an empirically oriented researcher with a focus on educational theory and anthropology. The volume examines the diversity of the subject areas—language, education, anthropology, culture, ethnicity, state, politics, university, school, curriculum—of Humboldt's research and develops methodological, cultural, and educational theoretical perspectives that also challenge the prevailing understanding of empirical educational research as a measuring and quantifying discipline.
