Cultura e storia. La Geschichtsphilosophie di Wilhelm Windelband

Abstract

Culture and History. Wilhelm Windelband’s Geschichtsphilosophie. The author proposes a critical review of Wilhelm Windelband’s philosophy of history, which he interprets in its circular relationship with the philosophy of culture. The author thematises the problematic elements of the Neo-Kantian philosophy of history by examining Windelband’s reflections on the concept of historical events, on the idea of humanity, on historical memory and on historical development as “Ausgleichung” (normalization) of cultural differences.
