J.J. ROUSSEAU AND JOHANN G. HERDER: THE CREATORS OF THE FRENCH AND GERMAN CONCEPTS OF NATION

Marius Robert Lungu

Abstract


The national idea is one of the great ideologies specific to modernity. With a history of two centuries, the national ideology continues today to be a true paradigm. We can only conceive of our life within a nation. The nation is par excellence the formula of solidarity and identity specific to the modern world. The creators of the national idea are two important names in modern philosophy: J.J. Rousseau and Johann G. Herder. Rousseau is the creator of the French concept of nation, based on  man's will to belong to a community of citizens. Herder is the founder of the German concept of nation, based on the common history, language and culture of a people.

Keywords
