Charles Taylor Quote

Herder put forward the idea that each of us has an original way of being human. Each person has his or her own measure is his way of putting it. This idea has entered very deep into modern consciousness. It is also new. Before the late eighteenth century no one thought that the differences between human beings had this kind of moral significance.
