This volume uses an arc of interdisciplinary scholarship to map both the epistemological origins and cultural expressions of the pivotal notion of \u003cem\u003eBildung\u003c\/em\u003e at the heart of pursuit in the humanities. From its intriguing original historical manifestations to its continuing resonance in current ongoing debates surrounding the humanities, the editors urge us to ask and discover how the classical concept of \u003cem\u003eBildung\u003c\/em\u003e, so central to humanistic inquiry, was historically imagined and applied in its original German context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jennifer Ham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1800738595\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781800738591\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Berghahn Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/10\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 168\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d","brand":"Jennifer Ham","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44080531538175,"sku":"9781800738591","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_bb5fcde7-4b76-4e8b-925d-1208af756e78.jpg?v=1685487314","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-origins-of-german-self-cultivation-jennifer-ham-9781800738591","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
