Blickwinkel KOSMOS – Perspektiven auf Alexander von Humboldts Werk und das Anthropozän

Paperback. The hardcover version is available in the Humboldtstore.

In his KOSMOS lectures at the Berlin University in 1828, Alexander von Humboldt described the world holistically and introduced new scientific perspectives. The here presented collection includes selected topics from the KOSMOS lectures at Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin in 2019 in the editorial, four academic contributions and a lecture manuscript. The contributions follow the thesis that Humboldt’s way of thinking represents a template for science in the Anthropocene.
