Michael Forster here presents a ground-breaking study of German
philosophy of language in the nineteenth century (and beyond). His
previous book, After Herder, showed that the eighteenth-century
philosopher J.G. Herder played the fundamental role in founding
modern philosophy of language, including new theories of
interpretation ('hermeneutics') and translation, as well as in
establishing such whole new disciplines concerned with language as
anthropology and linguistics. This new volume reveals that Herder's
ideas continued to have a profound impact on such important
nineteenth-century thinkers as Friedrich Schlegel (the leading
German Romantic), Wilhelm von Humboldt (a founder of linguistics),
and G.W.F. Hegel (the leading German Idealist). Forster shows that
the most valuable ideas about language in this tradition were
continuous with Herder's, whereas deviations from the latter that
occurred tended to be inferior. This book not only sets the
historical record straight but also champions the Herderian
tradition for its philosophical depth and breadth.
