Short description:
Offers a new interpretation of Johann Gottfried Herder's political thought, situating his ideas in pan-European Enlightenment debates.
MoreLong description:
Johann Gottfried Herder initiated the modern disciplines of philosophical anthropology and cultural history, including the study of popular culture. He is also remembered as a sharp critic of colonialism and imperialism. But what types of social, economic and political arrangements did Herder envision for modern European societies? Herder and Enlightenment Politics provides a radically new interpretation of Herder's political thought, situating his ideas in Enlightenment debates on modern patriotism, commerce and peace. By reconstructing Herder's engagement with Rousseau, Montesquieu, Abbt, Ferguson, M&&&246;ser, Kant and many other contemporary authors, Eva Piirim&&&228;e shows that Herder was deeply interested in the potential for cultural, moral and political reform in Russia, Germany and Europe. Herder probed the foundations of modern liberty, community and peace, developing a distinctive understanding of human self-determination, natural sociability and modern patriotism as well as advocating a vision of Europe as a commercially and culturally interconnected community of peoples.
'... a concise, erudite, and well-written study ... Eva Piirim&&&228;e's study masterfully fulfills the goals it sets itself, namely "to provide a full-bodied and nuanced historical reconstruction" of Herder's evolving political thought.' Kirill Ospovat, Monatshefte
