About the author

Theory of culture and advocacy of intuition over rationality of German philosopher and writer Johann Gottfried von Herder greatly influenced Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and formed the basis of German romanticism.

The periods of Enlightenment, Sturm und Drang, and Weimar classicism associate this theologian, poet, and literary critic.

In 1772, Herder published Treatise on the Origin of Language and went further in this promotion of language than his earlier injunction to "spew out the ugly slime of the Seine. Speak German, oh you German." Herder then established the foundations of comparative philology within the new currents of political outlook.

Ist im Prinzip kein Reisebericht, sondern Johann Gottfried Herders 1769 angelegter Goodreads-Account.

[P C · Rating 4 out of 5]

‘… ging ich in See, um ich weiß nicht wohin? zu gehen.‘

A man evidently coming to terms with how little he knew about the world and also, the joy that brings. Could be the single book that made Herder who he was. The ideas on the world around him definitely shaped Goethe as well, who he met one year later in France.

Also made me realise how much German has changed in the written form over the last 250 years because this could give you a migraine.

A forgotten journal.
