Als Gegenmodell zur als unzureichend empfundenen Alleinherrschaft rationalen Denkens von Descartes bis Kant steht Herders ganzheitlicher Ansatz, der auch das "Andere" der Vernunft umfasst: "Körper ohne Geist lieben, sagt ein Weltweiser voll großer Anschauung, ist Abgötterei; Seele ohne Körper, Schwärmerei; jedes im Andern wahre, ganze Menschheit." ("Vom Erkennen und Empfinden", 1775) [G] Herder's holistic attitude contrasts with the total domination of rational thought from Descartes to Kant, an approach felt by many to be inadequate. Herder's thinking also encompasses the "other" of reason: "Loving the body without the spirit, said a philosopher full of great insight, is idolatry; loving the soul without the body is zealotry; loving each in the other, is true, whole humanity" ("Vom Erkennen und Empfinden", Of Cognition and Sensation, 1775).

Descartes' "Cogito ergo sum" gesellt Herder - in seiner nachgelassenen Schrift "Zum Sinn des Gefühls" - ein "Ich fühle mich! Ich bin!" hinzu. [G] In his posthumous text "Zum Sinn des Gefühls" (On the Meaning of Feeling), Herder sets out his own counterpart to Descartes's "Cogito ergo sum" when he says, "I feel! I am!"
