Herder is often criticized for having embraced cultural relativism,
but there has been little philosophical discussion of what he
actually wrote about the nature of the human species and its
differentiation through culture. This book focuses on Herder's idea
of culture, seeking to situate his social and political theses
within the context of his anthropology, metaphysics, epistemology,
ethics, theory of language and philosophy of history. It argues for
a view of Herder as a qualified relativist, who combined the
conception of a common human nature with a belief in the importance
of culture in developing and shaping that nature. Especially
highlighted are Herder's understanding of the relativity of virtue
and happiness, and his belief in the impossibility of constructing
a single best society. The book will appeal to a wide range of
readers interested both in Herder and in Enlightenment culture more
generally.
