Synopsis

Philology contributed significantly to European racism in the 19th century, but also claimed central anthropological stocks of knowledge. The volume demonstrates this process using basic texts and explanatory commentary. Earlier than biological racial doctrines, philological knowledge provided fundamental "insights" about the origins, essence and potentials of human collectives. The discoveries of language and text reflection allowed a racial logical hierarchization of man on the basis of a heritage succession memory, which claimed for European peoples a priority within world history. These »findings«, derived from indices of language or writing structures, text forms and tradition streams, are therefore not soft factors in the history of science that would have supplemented hard stocks of knowledge, but represent construction conditions for the object of knowledge human in the 19th century. With texts by: Friedrich Schlegel, Lewis Cass, Julius Klaproth, Carlo Cattaneo, Arthur de Gobineau, August Friedrich Pott, Ernest Renan, Friedrich Nietzsche, Friedrich Max Müller, Gaston Paris, Marcelino Menéndez y Pelayo, Hugo Schuchardt, René de Poyen-Bellisle, Lucien Adam.
