Quick Summary

Wilhelm Windelband (1848–1915) was a German philosopher associated with the Neo-Kantian movement. He was a key figure in the Southwest German or Baden school of Neo-Kantianism, alongside Heinrich Rickert.123

Windelband's philosophical approach focused on the "problems" within the history of philosophy. He, along with Rickert, applied Kantian principles to the philosophy of history. Their work aimed to establish a foundation for understanding historical events through objective values, differentiating historical sciences from natural sciences. This school sought to reintegrate aspects of German idealism into a Kantian framework, influencing various areas of thought, including the philosophy of cultural sciences.213
