Shazhinbatyn, A. Wilhelm Humboldt about Comparative Anthropology
Abstract:
The article is devoted to the draft of comparative anthropology proposed by a German scientist Wilhelm
Humboldt over two hundred years ago. Humboldt viewed comparative anthropology as a new science. Based on him,
comparative anthropology was aimed at studying individual personalities. However, unlike physiological anthropology,
comparative anthropology focuses not on differences but on the relation between certain peculiarities and the
general ideal of personality. Drawing a line between science and humanology which studies human in general (or especially
interesting individuals), Humboldt included ‘community personalities’ into the sphere of his study. Basically,
Humboldt talked about ethnicity.
Keywords:
psychology, Enlightenment, Humboldt, science, comparative anthropology, humankind, personality, human, human types, ideal.
