- Title
A víagem herderíana: o horizonte e o círculo.
- Authors
Ferreira Neto, Orlando Marcondes
- Abstract
In his Travel Diary of 1769, J. G. Herder's voyage from Riga to Nantes represents the departure in search of new horizons and new ways of seeing the world, in favor of a typically enlightened reformist project. In consonance with the cosmopolitan optics of the Enlightenment, Herder's journey evokes an open temporality and great expectations for the future. However, a few years later, in his essay Another Philosophy of History for the Formation of Mankind, this project is subjected to a strong criticism, in such a way that the horizon of expectation of 1769 recedes in favor of a traditionally formed space of experience: the circle of culture. That is evidenced by Herder's emblematic and seemingly paradoxical claim that travels abroad are a sign of "sickness, flatulence, bloatedness, premonition of death", pointing to a dialectical tension typical of his early thought.
