Historisches Worterbuch der Philosophie (HWPH). Band 1, A-C
edited by Joachim Ritter
The Historical Dictionary of Philosophy (HWPh), compiled between 1971 and 2007 with the collaboration of more than 1,500 scholars, is one of the most comprehensive, significant, and successful publication projects in recent German-speaking humanities. Unlike other lexicons or encyclopedias, the HWPh is not based on a history of philosophical ideas or problems, but on the history of philosophical concepts. Comprising 12 text volumes and a concluding index volume, the lexicon documents the origins and genesis of a total of 3,670 philosophical terms in 17,144 columns and approximately 6,000 articles, using numerous precise references and references, and describes the changes in their meaning and function from their first appearance to the present day. The concept of the conceptual history method makes it possible to trace both the synchronic position and meaning of individual terms in specific epochs or among specific philosophers, as well as their diachronic changes in meaning within the history of Western philosophy. In order to illustrate the specifically philosophical conceptual work in the context of the entire scientific system, concepts from adjacent disciplines – theology, psychology, pedagogy, sociology, history and art history, politics, jurisprudence, medicine and the natural sciences – are also discussed.
