Abstrakt: |
Until now, critics have dealt with Steinthal's work in terms of his contributions to the Kulturwissenschaft (Bumann, Meschiari, Trautmann-Waller), linguistics (Trabant, Ringmacher) and semantics theory (Formigari, Knobloch). This study focuses on the philosophy supporting his linguistic-psychological theories. Connections established between philosophy, philology and psychology demonstrate Steinthal's originality in the Nineteenth-century debate on history, his contiguity with/difference to Böckh.
