HERDER, Johann Gottfried von
- HERDER, Johann Gottfried von
(1744-1803)
German LUTHERAN scholar and leader of the ROMANTIC movement who was influenced by the philosophy of KANT. His studies of the Synoptic Gospels (1796) and the Gospel of John (1797) led him to conclude that they could not be harmonized and helped launch German BIBLICAL CRITICISM. His philosophy of language argued that the language of a people encapsulates its HISTORICAL identity and underlying unity. This view greatly influenced German NATIONALISM and although Herder was essentially LIBERAL, this led to REACTIONARY politics and RACISM. His most influential works were his Outlines of a Philosophy of History of Man (1800) and Treatise upon the Origin of Language (1827).
