Description

Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) is a towering figure in modern thought, but one who has hitherto been severely underappreciated. Michael Forster seeks to rectify that situation He considers Herder's philosophy in the round and argues that it is both far more impressive in quality and far more influential in modern thought than has previously been realized. After an introduction on Herder's intellectual biography, philosophical style, and general program in philosophy, there are chapters on his philosophy of language, his hermeneutics, his theory of translation, his contribution of the philosophical foundations for both linguistics and cultural anthropology, his philosophy of mind, his aesthetics, his moral philosophy, his philosophy of history, his political philosophy, his philosophy of religion, and his intellectual influence. Forster argues that Herder contributed vitally important ideas in all of these areas; that in many of them his ideas were seminal for major subsequent philosophers, including Friedrich Schlegel, Schleiermacher, Wilhelm von Humboldt, Hegel, and Nietzsche; that they indeed founded whole new disciplines, such as linguistics, anthropology, and comparative literature; and that moreover they were in many cases even better than what these subsequent thinkers and disciplines went on to make of them.

Author Biography:

Michael N. Forster studied at Oxford and Princeton Universities. He has taught for over thirty years at the University of Chicago, where he was Chairman of the Philosophy Department for ten years and Glen A. Lloyd Distinguished Service Professor. He is currently Alexander von Humboldt Professor, Chair for Theoretical Philosophy, and Co-director of the International Centre for Philosophy at Bonn University. His historical interests are in ancient philosophy and especially German philosophy. His systematic interests include epistemology (especially skepticism) and philosophy of language (broadly construed). He is the author of eight books and numerous articles.
