Wilhelm von Humboldt
![Portrait by [[Thomas Lawrence]]](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/d/d8/Sir_Thomas_Lawrence_%281769-1830%29_-_Charles_William%2C_Baron_von_Humboldt_%281767-1835%29_-_RCIN_404936_-_Royal_Collection.jpg)
He was a linguist who made contributions to the philosophy of language, ethnolinguistics, and to the theory and practice of education. He made a major contribution to the development of liberalism by envisioning education as a means of realizing individual possibility rather than a way of drilling traditional ideas into youth to suit them for an already established occupation or social role. In particular, he was the architect of the Humboldtian education ideal, which was used from the beginning in Prussia as a model for its system of public education, as well as in the United States and Japan. He was elected as a member of the American Philosophical Society in 1822. Provided by Wikipedia
