Vico and Herder by Isaiah Berlin
Vico and Herder was widely acclaimed when it was first published in1976. In the first section Isaiah Berlin studies the philosophical ideas of Giovanni Battista Vico (1668-1744), a profound and original thinker, who 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 nationalism, originated other perhaps equally influential currents of artistic and political thought which Berlin reviews here.
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.
