Beschreibung
Human heritage is an endless mine of knowledge, skills,
ethos and accomplishments, which visualize and examine the
power of human creativity and innovation throughout the
history. The contributions cast an insight into the human
psyche to perceive its Weltanschauung, and its way of
thinking and making artefacts associated with knowledge,
existence and identity in the context of other existing
systems in the world. They demonstrate the diversity of
topics as well as the state-of-the art of interdisciplinary
approaches that participants of the Humboldt-Kolleg use in
their research on cultural heritage, and confirm, once
again, that the strengths of the Alexander von Humboldt
Network should be celebrated and honoured. The present
volume invites us to seek more novel research approaches
that aim towards an understanding of the complex nature of
human inheritance.
