Book Synopsis Self-direction and Political Legitimacy by : Frederick M. Barnard
Book excerpt: Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803) has been called the German Rousseau, although unlike Rousseau he was not recognized as a political thinker. This book explores each man's ideas--on nature and culture, selfhood and mutuality, paternalism, freedom, and autonomy--comparing their conceptions of legitimate statehood and examining their shared concept of "extended selfhood."
