商品簡介
Spencer (politics, U. of Otago, New Zealand) orchestrates a conversation between recent Anglo-American political theory and the political thought of German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803). She situates Herder's ideas about the ways in which language and culture influenced individual identity in relation to contemporary questions of justice while simultaneously challenging longstanding conceptions of him as a "counter-Enlightenment" philosopher and proponent of centralized "cultural nationalism," arguing that he in fact was a defender of the autonomy of different cultural groups and of a bottom-up communal approach to the formation of government.
