  Johann Gottfried Herder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Herder's focus upon language and cultural traditions as the ties that create a "nation" extended to include folklore, dance, music and art, and inspired Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in their collection of Germanic folk tales.
Herder attached exceptional importance to the concept of nationality and of patriotism — "he that has lost his patriotic spirit has lost himself and the whole worlds about himself ", whilst teaching that " in a certain sense every human perfection is national".
Herder carried folk theory to an extreme by maintaining that "there is only one class in the state, the Volk, (not the rabble), and the king belongs to this class as well as the peasant".

 Johann Gottfried von Herder
Herder's basic claims are these: (1) Morality is fundamentally more a matter of sentiments than of cognitions (Herder's sentimentalism is not crude, however; in subsequent works he stresses that cognition plays a large role in morality as well).
Herder believes, plausibly, that a work of art is always written or made to exemplify a certain genre, and that it is vital for the interpreter to identify its genre in order to understand it.
Herder strikingly, and plausibly, argues that, on the contrary, beauty is not nearly as essential to art as it is often taken to be.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Herder
Being entrusted with the publication of the official war bulletin, the "Teutsche Blätter", by the royal and imperial authorities at head- quarters as early as the end of 1813, Herder went to Paris with the allied armies in 1815 in Metternich's train as "Director of the Royal and Imperial Field Press".

 Sensory Perception and Rational Thought in Herder’s Concept of Man
Herder has often been called an irrational writer, a dreamer, a poet rather than philosopher, and far worse; indeed, for much of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries Herder’s philosophical tracts were dismissed for being too vague, imprecise, incomplete, poetic, or flowery.
Herder distinguishes clearly between the lower senses (taste, smell, and touch) and the higher ones (sight and hearing), and explains that it is sight and sound which are most fertile in the imagination.
Herder’s conceptualization of the soul and body as intimately connected is at the heart of his distinct position in regards to Enlightenment philosophy.

Herder knew, of course, that his journal was unusual: he himself called it "ein sonderbares Ding," and never intended that it be published for a wide audience.
Herder's analogical thinking functions as a way to express the otherwise unexpressible, and to explain, in a manner easily comprehended by his readers, subjects which are of a highly abstract character.
Kant felt that Herder, in resorting to metaphorical excursus and inductive reasoning, was "somehow guilty of violating the territorial limits of poetry and philosophy," [17] and that this destroyed any claim Herder might have had to authoritative discourse.

 Herder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A herder is a worker who lives a semi-nomadic life, caring for various domestic animals, especially in places where these animals wander unfenced pasture lands.
Because their work is necessarily mostly outdoors, they move around from place to place in the course of their labours, and the lands upon which their beasts graze are seldom claimed as any single person's property, a number of romantic legends have sprung up around their way of life.
Some herders whose lifestyles have become mainstays of fiction include:

In 1996, the aspiring Southern California rock band Nerf Herder recorded a lighthearted tribute to the schlock and rollers Van Halen that lauded their years with David Lee Roth while trashing his replacement, Sammy Hagar.
Its next project was recording the theme song for a new TV show on the fledgling WB network based on the movie "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." "I had seen the original movie, which I thought was kind of funny," says Gripp.
All these forces converge in Nerf Herder's music, a type of rock often called "nerdcore." It will be on full display when Punk-O-Rama, which also features Guttermouth, Authority Zero and 1208, arrives at the House of Blues on Nov. 8.

Due to the success of their song "Van Halen," Nerf Herder was flown to New York, put up in a fancy hotel, driven around in a limo, taken to a strip club, and then signed to a moderate sized record contract with Arista Records.
During the initial filming of the show, one of the cast members got a hold of Nerf Herder’s debut album, and soon the whole cast and crew was being subjected to Nerf Herder’s music.

 Herder, Johann Gottfried: Sculpture
In this landmark essay, Herder combines rationalist and empiricist thought with a wide range of sources—from the classics to Norse legend, Shakespeare to the Bible—to illuminate the ways we experience sculpture.
Standing on the fault line between classicism and romanticism, Herder draws most of his examples from classical sculpture, while nevertheless insisting on the historicity of art and of the senses themselves.
Through a detailed analysis of the differences between painting and sculpture, he develops a powerful critique of the dominance of vision both in the appreciation of art and in our everyday apprehension of the world around us.
