Johann Gottfried Herder
Johann Gottfried Herder was a German philosopher and freemason (became a member of the Bavarian Illuminati in 1783 with Johann von Goethe, Ernst Saxe-Coburg and Karl August von Sachsen), who played a role in German idealism and Enlightenment, the Sturm and Drang movement with Goethe and Friedrich Schiller and in the history of freemasonry. He was educated at the University of Königsberg by Immanuel Kant and mentored by Johann Haman. He was a friend of Ephraim Lessing, Friedrich Schlegel (married to daughter of Moses Mendelssohn), publisher Johann Merck, JCF Bach (son of JS Bach) and JC Bode (Illuminati). |
He influenced the folk tales of the Brothers Grimm, linguistics and cultural psychology. He helped popularizing the concept of the Aryan race and German romantic nationalism, which would eventually lead to the Nazi party of Adolf Hitler in the dialectic WW1 and WW2 ritual (Saxe-Coburgs and agents of Skull and Bones).
