However, his work has received remarkably little attention in the English-speaking world. Humboldt conceives language as the source of cognition as well as communication, both rooted in the possibility of human dialogue. In the same way, his idea of the university posits the free encounter between radically different personalities as the source of education for freedom. For Humboldt, both linguistic and intellectual communication are predicated firstly on dialogue between persons, which is the prerequisite for all intercultural understanding. Linking Humboldt's concept of dialogue to his idea of translation between languages, persons, and cultures, this book shows how Humboldt's thought is of great contemporary relevance. Humboldt shows a way beyond the false alternatives of "culturalism" (the demand that a plurality of cultural and faith-based traditions be recognized as sources of ethical and political legitimacy in the modern world) and "universalism" (the assertion of the primacy of a universal culture of human rights and the renewal of the European Enlightenment project). John Walker explains how Humboldt's work emerges from the intellectual conflicts of his time and yet directly addresses the concerns of our own post-secular and multicultural age"-- |cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Humboldt, Wilhelm von, |d1767-1835. 600 17 Humboldt, Wilhelm von, |d1767-1835. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00041193 650 0 Intercultural communication. 650 0 Language and languages |xPhilosophy. 650 7 Intercultural communication. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00976084 650 7 Language and languages |xPhilosophy. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00992193 776 08 |iOnline version:Walker, John, 1956 January 14- |tWilhelm von Humboldt and transcultural communication in a multicultural world |dRochester, New York : Camden House, 2022 |z9781800102484 |w(DLC) 2022018647 830 0 Studies in German literature, linguistics, and culture 910 |cG0601mon |d3110-07 |gYBP |h498960 914 (OCoLC)on1340656118 |bOCoLC |cmatch |d20230125 |eprocessed |f1340656118 980 17941619 |i95.00 |j77.90 |n40031427226 982 |cf |q32101118481520 986 |hP85.H8 |iW35 2022
