Who was Johann Friedrich Herbart?

Johann Friedrich Herbart was a German philosopher, psychologist, and founder of pedagogy as an academic discipline.

Herbart is now remembered amongst the post-Kantian philosophers mostly as making the greatest contrast to Hegel; this in particular in relation to aesthetics. That does not take into account his thought on education.
