Among his generation of intellectuals, the eighteenth-century
German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder is recognized both for
his innovative philosophy of language and history and for his
passionate criticism of racism, colonialism, and imperialism. A
student of Immanuel Kant, Herder challenged the idea that anyone -
even the philosophers of the Enlightenment - could have a monopoly
on truth. In Herder: Aesthetics against Imperialism, John K. Noyes
plumbs the connections between Herder's anti-imperialism, often
acknowledged but rarely explored in depth, and his epistemological
investigations. Noyes argues that Herder's anti-rationalist
epistemology, his rejection of universal conceptions of truth,
knowledge, and justice, constitutes the first attempt to establish
not just a moral but an epistemological foundation for
anti-imperialism. Engaging with the work of postcolonial theorists
such Dipesh Chakrabarty and Gayatri Spivak, this book is a valuable
reassessment of Enlightenment anti-imperialism that demonstrates
Herder's continuing relevance to postcolonial studies today.
