The text, known as the ‘lecture of war,’ is written in the dramatic situation of 1915, just before the death of the master of the Baden School. The author interprets the ‘lecture’ in relation to the crisis into which the project of neo-Kantian philosophy of culture was thrown by the World War. Windelband tried to safeguard his own philosophical perspective and to make a positive contribution to the cultural struggle into which the Great War had driven all German intellectuals.
