Alexander von Humboldt's Conception of Science and the emerging ethical Weltanschauung. In the context of recent reflections upon global ethics (Hans K{\"u}ng), global democracy (Otfried H{\"o}ffe) and a new cultural situation after the end of the Cold War (Clifford Geertz), Alexander von Humboldt's concept of global consciousness (Weltbewußtsein) marks a decisive point in the ungoing process of the construction of a new ethics of globalization. This article tries to show how Humboldt's transdisciplinary and intercultural conception of sience as WorldWideWeb integrates Kant's philosophical visions of global political institutions and formulates a critique of the non-empirical foundations of Hegel's teleological Weltanschauung. From his Visions of Nature and his Personal Narrative to his Cosmos, Humboldt's theory and practice of science help us to find a new ethos and new answers to the contemporary questions of divergent modernities.}, language = {de} } @article{Leitner2000, author = {Leitner, Ulrike}, title = {Humboldt's works on Mexico}, series = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, volume = {I}, journal = {HIN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; international review for Humboldtian studies}, number = {1}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2568-3543}, doi = {10.18443/2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-34355}, pages = {29 -- 44}, year = {2000}, abstract = {Humboldt wrote about Mexico from the perspective of a scientific explorer and naturalist.
