Abstract

The following article deals with the analysis and critical evaluation of the idea of "Bildung" as narrated in the existing works and writings of Wilhelm von Humboldt (1835-1767). We have tried to provide the basics and basic equipment for a correct and accurate reading of this idea based on some of Humboldt's important works. First, we have explained the issue of encountering the idea or concept of "Bildung" and why the idea of "Bildung" and as a result the concept of "Bildung" cannot be easily translated and transferred.

Conclusion: After this, in order to overcome the difficulty raised under the issue of the idea or concept of "Bildung", suggestions have been made regarding the appropriate methodology for this issue, which is of course based on the use of the conceptual analysis method and some minor adjustments in it. In the following, we have dealt with the problem of which Humboldt thought in the framework of his time and context in formulating and presenting the idea of "Bildung", frameworks that we believe any understanding of Humboldt's opinions without referring to these frameworks as sources of Humboldt's macro-thought, It will be inaccurate. Then, based on a number of Humboldt's works, we have explained the foundations and structure of "Bildung" in Humboldt's narrative, and we have shown that the aspect of unity and integrity of Humboldt's opinions can only be understood and expressed under the title of "Bildung Metaphysics", that is, a philosophical perspective
