About
This much-awaited second volume investigates the changes in subject, method and institutional context of the humanistic disciplines around 1800, offering a wealth of insights for specialists and students alike. Point of departure is the pivotal question whether there was a paradigm shift in the humanities around 1800 or whether these changes were part of a much longer process. The authors provide an overarching perspective including philology, musicology, art history, linguistics, historiography, philosophy and literary theory. They also make clear that the influence from the East, from the Ottoman Empire to China, was crucial for the development of the European humanistic disciplines. Dit boek onderzoekt de ontwikkelingen in de geesteswetenschappen vóór en na 1800. Er wordt vaak gesteld dat rond 1800 de alfawetenschappen een ‘humanisering’ van hun onderwerpen en methodes ondergingen. The Making of the Humanities Vol. 2 toont echter aan dat het strikte onderscheid tussen mens- en natuurwetenschappen de uitkomst was van een proces dat al in de zeventiende eeuw begon. Als er al sprake was van een revolutie, dan vond deze eerder op een institutioneel dan op een conceptueel niveau plaats. Dit is het tweede deel van de serie gewijd aan de geschiedenis van de geesteswetenschappen.
