Summary: Johann Gottfried Herder (1744–1803) was one of the leading German thinkers of the eighteenth century, and his contributions to the philosophy of history and language helped to shape modern developments in these disciplines.Robert Norton proposes that Herder's thought—specifically in aesthetics, which was his primary concern during the first 15 years of his intellectual activity—was profoundly indebted to the European Enlightenment and not, as German intellectual historians have often maintained, an irrational rebellion against reason of the Aufklärung generally.
