| Philosopher, born in Gdańsk, N Poland (formerly Danzig, Germany). He was a pupil of Wilhelm Windelband (1848–1915), and founded with him the Baden school of neo-Kantianism. He became professor at Freiburg (1894) and Heidelberg (1916), and argued for a Kulturwissenschaft (‘science of culture’) which could be an objective science of those universal concepts (such as religion, art, and law) that emerge from the multiplicity of individual cultures and societies. His views were a great influence on, among others, Max Weber. |
