- Abstract
- Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767-1835) - a reformer of the educational system, the founder of the University of Berlin, a liberal thinker, a Prussian statesman, a diplomat, the founder of theoretical linguistics-is present in the scientific life of modern Russia in various facets of his work. In recent years, his works have been reprinted in Russia, and Russian translations of the thinker's works have been published.1 The reception of Humboldt's legacy today is largely focused on his educational conception2, which is explained by the situation of changes that Russian higher education is currently experiencing in connection with the transition to the Bologna system. Recognizing the creation of the German classical university and the reform of education as Humboldt's greatest creation, it is necessary to explain the relevance of this person in terms of his political and philosophical ideas, which formed the basis of his reform activities in the field of education.3 The political ideas expressed by Humboldt also have an independent significance, since they raise the question of the forms of interaction between the individual and the state and offer a slightly different solution from the principles of classical liberalism. G. de Ruggiero, an Italian researcher of European liberalism, believed that intellectualism was inherent in the liberal phenomenon in Prussia, since lawyers (mainly officials) and intellectuals predominated among the bearers of liberal ideas.
