Concept information

Preferred term

herder's philosophy of history  

Definition(s)

  • This entry provides an overview of Johann Gottfried Herder's (1744–1803) philosophical views on history and in particular his championing of “hermeneutic historicism,” his rejection of the divide between nature and history or culture, and his critical stance vis-à-vis the Enlightenment. Herder's views have become important in recent discussions of the philosophy of history and, especially, in relation to what the Enlightenment is claimed to have bequeathed to the social sciences.
