Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Modern Language Quarterly, Vol. 7 In Memory Of Johann Gottfried Herder. Herder Centenary Address. December 22, 1903. London. ´Fortwirkung auf menschliche Seelen im Kreise der Meuschheit ist die Aufgabe.´ J. G. v. Herder. Johann Gottfried Herder. ´Ein edler Mann, begierig zu ergründen, Wie überall des Menschen Sinn erspriesst.´ Goethe. In the introduction to his essay on ´Winckelmann´ (Weimar ed. 46, 10 - 13) Goethe expressed the thought that, just as there are periodical celebrations of pious founders and public benefactors, it is meet and fitting to arrange from time to time for public expressions of gratitude to those who have bequeathed inexhaustible treasures of fruitful ideas to their own people and to mankind. To the memory of Johann Gottfried Herder not only Germany, but the world at large, owes a deep debt of gratitude - although some people may not be fully aware of its extent - and the high appreciation of the lasting value of this great teacher´s work will during this week find eloquent and varied expression among lovers of literature and students of poetry, history, and philosophy on both sides of the Atlantic. The German Goethe Society, which has rightly included within the field of its attention the great men who lived and worked with Goethe on the banks of the Ilm, especially Schiller and Herder, has arranged a solemn celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of Herder´s death. On the 18th and 19th of December a large and representative gathering was held at Weimar at which students and admirers of Weimar´s great court preacher, Goethe´s ´Humanus,´ paid tributes to his memory, where also by the side of the spoken words strains of exquisite music were heard, that soul-unbinding art of which from his earliest childhood Herder was so fond. It is the wish of the Goethe Society that this day may be observed in other lands where Herders influence has made itself felt, and I know that a number of American universities have arranged Herder memorial celebrations.
