Summary: "Herder's Conception of 'das Volk'" by Georgiana R. Simpson is a scholarly dissertation written in the early 20th century. This work explores the philosophical and linguistic underpinnings of the term "Volk" as conceptualized by Johann Gottfried Herder, delving into its usage throughout various stages of the Germanic languages and analyzing its significance within the context of cultural identity and individuality. The opening of the dissertation introduces the term "Volk" through a thorough etymological analysis, tracing its origins and meanings in different Germanic languages and the nuances it has gathered over time. Simpson outlines how the concept evolved from denoting mere populations or crowds to embodying distinct aspects of national identity and culture. As she begins to unpack Herder's philosophy, Simpson sets the stage for a deeper discussion on how "Volk" not only differentiates between the governing and the governed but also encapsulates the very essence of collective cultural consciousness and individual character within populations.
