In this book, Rachel Zuckert provides the first overarching account
of Johann Gottfried Herder's complex aesthetic theory. She guides
the reader through Herder's texts, showing how they relate to
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century European philosophy of art, and
focusing on two main concepts: aesthetic naturalism, the view that
art is natural to and naturally valuable for human beings as
organic, embodied beings, and - unusually for Herder's time -
aesthetic pluralism, the view that aesthetic value takes many
diverse and culturally varying forms. Zuckert argues that Herder's
theory plays a pivotal role in the history of philosophical
aesthetics, marking the transition from the eighteenth-century
focus on aesthetic value as grounded in human nature to the
nineteenth-century focus on art as socially significant and
historically variable. Her study illuminates Herder's significance
as an innovative thinker in aesthetics, and will interest a range
of readers in philosophy of art and European thought.
