Herder, Gadamer, and 21st Century Humanities

One of the expectations for this conference, expectation for all philosophical traditions of the world is to solve "human life, civilization and the life on the earth" by preserving traditional methods and prescription. In this article I will discuss the theme of the meeting in detail by considering the views of Johan Gottfried Herder and Hans Georg Gadmer on education and history. His religious loyalty was attacked, but Herder also supports the so-called pluralism today.

Johann Gottfried Herder presents a very different perspective on human nature, human thought and motivation. In his book "Thought of Human History Philosophy" (1791), Heller showed the historical background of human nature. He provides a historical understanding of the nature of man and arguing the human nature itself is a historical product and humans have taken different actions at different times of historical development (1800-1877, 1791). Herder's view built the foundation of historical human philosophy found in the persons of Hegel and Nietzsche in the 19th century. His view also predicts the important idea of ​​the social world in the second half of the 20th century, "social construction" of humanity and social identity (Anderson 1983; Hacking 1999; Foucault 1971).

Robert Bernasconi goes back to this philosophy to the philosophy of Johann Gottfried von Herder. He wrote an idea about the philosophy of human history (1784). Year). Helder (against Emanuel Kant) actually "refuses to divide people into races and insists that people divide more appropriately" (Bernasconi 2000, 23). Pastor believes that every group of people has made their own important contribution to civilization. The pastor insisted that the Negro is not an animal but a person, opposed the general view of the 18th century about civilization and race. He should say, "You should not oppress him, kill him, steal him, because he is like you ..." (Bernasconi 2000, 26)
