Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Karl Ferdinand von Humboldt (22 June 1767 – 8 April 1835) was a Prussian philosopher, government functionary, diplomat, and founder of the Humboldt University of Berlin, which was named after him in 1949 (and also after his brother, Alexander von Humboldt, a naturalist). He is especially remembered as a linguist who made important contributions to the philosophy of language and to the theory and practice of education. In particular, he is widely recognized as having been the architect of the Humboldtian education ideal, which was used from the beginning in Prussia as a model for its system of education and later in countries such as the United States and Japan. His younger brother, Alexander von Humboldt, was famous as a geographer, naturalist, and explorer.〔Hermann Klencke, Gustav Schlesier, ''Lives of the brothers Humboldt, Alexander and William'' New York, 1853:13.〕 == Biography == Humboldt was born in Potsdam, Margraviate of Brandenburg, and died in Tegel, Province of Brandenburg. In June 1791, he married Karoline von Dacheröden. They had eight children, of whom five survived to adulthood.〔(Mueller-Vollmer, Kurt, "Wilhelm von Humboldt", The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wilhelm von Humboldt」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
