“The core of J.G. Herder's philosophy of nationalism lies in the conviction that human creativity must be embedded in the particular culture of a communal language. While he acknowledged that this cultural particular must be integrated into a more universal humanity, he insisted that each culture should preserve its incommensurable distinctiveness. He also called for a new method of enquiry regarding history, one that demands empathetic sensitivity toward the uniquely individual while realizing that there are few gains without losses. F.M. Barnard demonstrates that Herder, despite his innovative work on the idea of nationality, was fully aware not only of the dangers of ethnic fanaticism but also of the hazards of what is now known as globalization, recognizing that these must be tempered by a sense of universal humanity. Barnard shows that Herder anticipated modern theories of the dynamics of cultures and traditions through the problematic interplay of persistence and change and that his speculations on cultural and political pluralism, on language as a democratic bond, and on the possible fusion of communitarian and liberal dimensions of public life remain relevant to contemporary debates.” -- Forlagets beskrivelse

"Herder is often criticized for having embraced cultural relativism, but there has been little philosophical discussion of what he actually wrote about the nature of the human species and its differentiation through culture. This book focuses on Herder's idea of culture, seeking to situate his social and political theses within the context of his anthropology, metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, theory of language and philosophy of history. It argues for a view of Herder as a qualified relativist, who combined the conception of a common human nature with a belief in the importance of culture in developing and shaping that nature. Especially highlighted are Herder's understanding of the relativity of virtue and happiness, and his belief in the impossibility of constructing a single best society. The book will appeal to a wide range of readers interested both in Herder and in Enlightenment culture more generally"--

In this book, Rachel Zuckert provides the first overarching account of Johann Gottfried Herder's complex aesthetic theory. She guides the reader through Herder's texts, showing how they relate to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European philosophy of art, and focusing on two main concepts: aesthetic naturalism, the view that art is natural to and naturally valuable for human beings as organic, embodied beings, and - unusually for Herder's time - aesthetic pluralism, the view that aesthetic value takes many diverse and culturally varying forms. Zuckert argues that Herder's theory plays a pivotal role in the history of philosophical aesthetics, marking the transition from the eighteenth-century focus on aesthetic value as grounded in human nature to the nineteenth-century focus on art as socially significant and historically variable. Her study illuminates Herder's significance as an innovative thinker in aesthetics, and will interest a range of readers in philosophy of art and European thought

Spätestens seit 1984, als die für die weitere Herder-Forschung initiale Tagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft zur Erforschung des 18. Jahrhunderts stattgefunden hat, darf von einer Renaissance der Herder-Forschung gesprochen werden. Es ist an der Zeit, die seither unternommenen vielseitigen Bemühungen um das Werk dieses Theologen, Denkers und Literaten zu bündeln und unter weiterführenden Perspektiven zu fokussieren. Dies ist die Absicht des vorliegenden Handbuchs. Chronologisch und nach den Gebieten Philosophie, Theologie, Poetik, Pädagogik und (Nach-)Dichtungen geordnet, erschließt dieses Handbuch nicht vollständig, aber doch umfassend die Schriften, Studien und Entwürfe Herders. Nicht zur Feier eines Klassikers, erst recht nicht zur bequemen Suche nach Schlagworten dienen die hier versammelten Artikel; sie verstehen sich als einführende und zu weiteren Forschungen anregende Beiträge, die teils bereits selbst eigenständige Forschungen enthalte
