The course explores philosophical reflections on the university and the

providing a critical perspective on the subsequent history of the
university through the 20th century until today. Humboldt University
Berlin was founded in 1809/10 under the name “Friedrich-Wilhelms-
Universität” as a result of revolutionist treatises on university reforms
by philosophers in Berlin such as Fichte, von Humboldt, and
Schleiermacher. Wilhelm von Humboldt in particular had the idea to
create a new kind of university in which teaching and research would            OVERVIEW
form a unity, in which science would be independent of political and
economic interests, and in which students would receive a universal
education. Consequently, the Humboldt University Berlin became the
worldwide paradigm of a new era of university and science. By reading
texts by Kant, Fichte, von Humboldt, Schleiermacher, Hegel, Marx,
Heine, Schopenhauer, Heidegger, and others, we will trace how ideas
relating to the structure and purpose of the university and academic
teaching and scientific research changed and were implemented in the
course of the last two centuries, especially in light of the most recent
university reform following the Bologna Process in 1999. The course
also puts particular emphasis on the impact of philosophical ideas on
politics, religion, and education, as well as on literature, visual arts, and
architecture in Berlin past and present. (Reading materials are made
available electronically in both the German original and English
translation. Instruction and discussion are in English, but German
contributions are welcome.)
