Herder's Relation to the Aesthetic Theory of His Time: A Contribution Based on the Fourth Critical Waldchen (1920) is a scholarly work written by Malcolm Howard Dewey. The book explores the relationship between the German philosopher Johann Gottfried Herder and the aesthetic theory of his time. Dewey argues that Herder's philosophy was deeply influenced by the aesthetic theories of his contemporaries, including Immanuel Kant and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. The book is based on Dewey's analysis of Herder's fourth critical Waldchen, a work that has been largely overlooked by scholars. In this work, Herder discusses the nature of art and its role in human society. Dewey argues that Herder's ideas about art were shaped by the aesthetic theories of his time, but that he also had a unique perspective on the subject. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of Herder's philosophy. Dewey begins by providing an overview of the aesthetic theories of Herder's time, including the ideas of Kant and Goethe. He then examines Herder's fourth critical Waldchen in detail, discussing the philosopher's views on the nature of art, the relationship between art and nature, and the role of the artist in society. Throughout the book, Dewey provides detailed analysis of Herder's ideas, drawing on a range of primary sources. He also situates Herder's philosophy within the broader context of German intellectual history, highlighting the philosopher's contributions to the development of Romanticism and the German idealist tradition. Overall, Herder's Relation to the Aesthetic Theory of His Time: A Contribution Based on the Fourth Critical Waldchen (1920) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of aesthetics and the development of German philosophy. Dewey's careful analysis of Herder's ideas sheds new light on the philosopher's contributions to the field, and provides a deeper understanding of the intellectual currents that shaped the German intellectual tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
