Johann Gottfried Herder’s philosophy of history was a reaction against the eighteenth century European Enlightenment, which was based upon an ultrarationalist worldview. Most accurately represented by Newtonian physics, Enlightenment intellectuals thought that every aspect of the universe was governed by natural laws. These laws were believed to be universal and unchanging, and through the use of reason humankind could discover and understand their operations. In turn, this knowledge could be used to improve the quality of life by creating social structures that were compatible with these universal truths. |
