The present paper investigates the conceptual development of Alexander on Humboldt. The point of reference is his relation to Schelling and to a series of investigators of nature and of physicians closely connected to Naturphilosophie. It is shown that in the correspondence of Humboldt with this group the content underwent a transformation. Scientific exchanges and a general interpretative consensus were over the years more and more replaced by social cooperation over academic appointments, and collaboration over other political problems within the scientific establishment. Humboldt fit Schelling and other partners with whom he cooperated into a network of relationships that rested on mutual social support.
Unterwegs zum Weltbewußtsein

Towards Global Consciousness. Alexander von Humboldt's Conception of Science and the emerging ethical Weltanschauung. In the context of recent reflections upon global ethics (Hans Küng), global democracy (Otfried Höffe) 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.
This article deals with a study on Catalan students' knowledge of Majorcan dialecticisms supposed to be known by students who obtained the Certificat C as issued by the Junta Permanent de Català. The results allow to draw some conclusions concerning the extremely poor state of knowledge of the Majorcan Catalan that these students seem to have. The article also discusses the interrelationship between these results and the fact that a large number of people in Majorca refuse the standardised form of the Catalan language.
La contribucion pretende aclarar un aspecto hasta ahora no exhaustivamente considerado a la hora de estudiar y evaluar la variacion lingüistica. Se trata de la frecuencia de uso, más dificilmente analizable que otros fenomenos lingüisticos, ya que exige el procesamiento de un corpus lo suficientemente extenso como para extraer las cantidades de datos absolutos necesarias para sacar conclusiones.
