A student of Immanuel Kant, Herder challenged the idea that anyone - even the philosophers of the Enlightenment - could have a monopoly on truth.In Herder: Aesthetics against Imperialism, John K. Noyes plumbs the connections between Herder's anti-imperialism, often acknowledged but rarely explored in depth, and his epistemological investigations. Noyes argues that Herder's anti-rationalist epistemology, his rejection of universal conceptions of truth, knowledge, and justice, constitutes the first attempt to establish not just a moral but an epistemological foundation for anti-imperialism. Engaging with the work of postcolonial theorists such Dipesh Chakrabarty and Gayatri Spivak, this book is a valuable reassessment of Enlightenment anti-imperialism that demonstrates Herder's continuing relevance to postcolonial studies today. 410 0$aGerman and European studies. 606 $aAesthetics, German$y18th century 606 $aPhilosophy, German$y18th century 606 $aImperialism 606 $aEnlightenment 607 $aTyskland 610 $a(lcsh)Herder, Johann Gottfried, 1744-1803--Aesthetics. 610 $a(fast)Herder, Johann Gottfried, 1744-1803. 610 $a(fast)1700 - 1799 610 $a(lcsh)Aesthetics, German--18th century. 610 $a(lcsh)Philosophy, German--18th century. 610 $a(lcsh)Imperialism. 610 $a(lcsh)Enlightenment. 610 $a(fast)Aesthetics. 610 $a(fast)Aesthetics, German. 610 $a(fast)Enlightenment. 610 $a(fast)Imperialism. 610 $a(fast)Philosophy, German. 615 0$aAesthetics, German 615 0$aPhilosophy, German 615 0$aImperialism. 615 0$aEnlightenment. 676 $a325.32 700 $aNoyes$b John K$g(John Kenneth),$f1955-$0941966 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819536103321 996 $aHerder$94113274 997 $aUNINA
