Briefwechsel

The second volume of Dilthey´s correspondence (1882-1895) contains some 400 letters written by or directed to Dilthey during his initial years as a professor in Berlin. They document his intensive and broad pursuit of outlining the liberal arts as well as providing insight into his concepts and concrete plans for the academy edition of Kant´s works. In addition, the letters contained in this volume reveal the important role Dilthey played in shaping the science policies of his day, particularly through his close relationship with the influential Prussian cultural policymaker Friedrich Theodor Althoff.
