This study attempts to trace the transition from an age in which terms like “state”, “nation” and “society”, were still compatible with a view of association that could dispense with ideology to one in which this increasingly ceased to be the case.  Herder was preoccupied with the problem of social relations in a world that increasingly came to resemble for him a vast machine in which men were like cogs, whose lives were governed by the inexorable operations of mechanical bureaucracies.
