Vico and Herder was widely acclaimed when it was first published in1976. In the first section Isaiah Berlin studies the philosophical ideas of Giovanni Battista Vico (1668-1744), a profound and original thinker, who has probably even more to say to the present age than to his own. Johann Gottfried Herder (1744-1803), the subject of the second study, although commonly regarded as the father of European nationalism, originated other perhaps equally influential currents of artistic and political thought which Berlin reviews here.
