Johann Gottfried Herder: Studien und Entwürfe I

The well-thought-out drafts and concepts in this volume, dealing primarily with metaphysics, theology, the philosophy of history and the philosophy of language, present the universal scholar Herder in his appropriative involvement with contemporary positions. His metadisciplinary approach is shown here as a workshop report, which enables the reader to watch Herder so to speak while he is working. This paints a picture which allows the reader to gain an insight into Herder’s intellectual development as well as into the beginnings of his »human philosophy«.
