The source and nature of the ethnography of the important eighteenth century thinker Johann Gottfried Herder can in large part be understood through his relationship to his own society and especially through his part in the German cultural nationalist movement of the day. Herder's long involvement with the literature of travel led him to an understanding of many ideas now associated with cultural anthropology; he often recounts ethnographic information in a plain and impartial way. He also gives frequent moral judgements of native cultures. These judgements, often favorable and occasionally negative, may be traced to his announced political sympathies.
重要的18世纪思想家约翰·戈特弗里德·赫尔德的人种志研究的来源和性质，在很大程度上可以通过他与自己所处社会的关系来理解，尤其是通过他在当时德国文化民族主义运动中的角色来理解。赫尔德长期投身于旅行文学，这使他对许多如今与文化人类学相关的观念有了认识；他常常以平实公正的方式讲述人种志信息。他也经常对本土文化作出道德评判。这些评判，时而赞许，时而否定，或许可以追溯到他公开宣称的政治同情立场。
