Wilhelm Windelband as systematical thinker and as historian of philosophy
Abstract
The present research paper aims at clarifying the relationship between systematic thinking and historiographical practices in the works of the Neo-Kantian philosopher Wilhelm Windelband (1848-1915). According to the judgment of his successors, Windelband’s work is characterized by a systematical deficit grounded on an excess of historiographical labors. The aim of this study is to show that, in Windelband’s case the history of philosophy becomes a true impulse for systematical thinking. Besides, an attempt is made to show how Windelband's works make a contribution to the elaboration of a concept of historical philosophy, that is, to carry out the historicization of philosophical thought.
