This is the first edition of three letters written by Prince August of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg to the German theologian Johann Gottfried Herder in the years 1784 and 1785. As son of the Duchess Louise Dorothea, Prince August was very familiar with the German and French Enlightenment. He intensely read works by Voltaire, Diderot, Helvetius and similar authors and was able to form his own judgements, even on metaphysical treatises. He described, for example, Spinoza’s philosophy as “dry grammatical-metaphysical claptrap”. His letters to Herder are full of devastating irony, intelligent humour and wit. They give an interesting insight into the intellectual’s debates on literature, philosophy, theology, and arts which are clearly separated from political affairs. The Research Library of Gotha preserves a copy of nearly 200 letters of the prince to Herder.
