Herder on Nationality, Humanity, and History

Informationen zum Autor F.M. Barnard is professor emeritus of political science at University of Western Ontario and the author of numerous books, including Reason and Self-Enactment in History and Politics: Themes and Voices of Modernity and Herder on Nationality, Humanity, and Klappentext 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 know as globalization, recognizing that these must be tempered by a sense of universal humanity. Zusammenfassung A portrayal of the importance of Herder's ideas on nationality! culture! and history.
