'Eva Piirimäe's Herder and Enlightenment Politics deserves recognition as a landmark study in the scholarship of both Johann Gottfried Herder, and of eighteenth century political thought more broadly.' Andrew Walker, History of European Ideas
'… a concise, erudite, and well-written study of some of the primary strains of Herder's thought in their interrelationships, traced through all phases of his evolution, from the 1760s to 1800s. For readers who, like the present reviewer, are not already Herder experts but are interested in Enlightenment intellectual history, the book offers an informative, original, and well-contextualized introduction to Herder's thought and its place in multiple philosophical and political debates.'
