Items related to Vico and Herder: Two Studies in the History of Ideas
In the first section Isaiah Berlin studies the philosophical ideas of Giovanni Battista Vico (1668-1744), a profound and original thinker, who probably has more to say to the present age than to his own. Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), the subject of the second study, although commonly regarded as the father of European nationalism, originated other perhaps equally influential currents of artistic and political thought which Berlin reviews here.

Synopsis:
In the first section of the book Isaiah Berlin studies the philosophical ideas of Giovanni Battisti Vico (1668-1744), a profound and original thinker, who, after being overshadowed by Montesquieu, has been rediscovered at intervals ever since, but has probably even more to say to the present age than to his own. Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), the subject of the second study, although commonly regarded as the father of European nationlism, originated three perhaps equally influential currents of thought: populism, the idea of artistic commitment and of art as the voice of its time and social milieu and the idea of the autonomy of cultures and the equal validity of many dissimilar systems of values.
About the Author:
Isaiah Berlin, OM, was Professor of Social and Political Theory at Oxford University from 1957-67, and the First President of Wolfson College. His numerous essays and books, such as Karl Marx, The Age of Enlightenment, Four Essays in Liberty, have influenced a generation.
