Hamann, Johann Georg
View through CrossRef
Johann Georg Hamann (1730–1788) of Prussia was one of the most widely read authors of the late German Enlightenment, and was a profound influence on figures such as Herder, Goethe, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and Nietzsche and the Storm and Stress and Romantic movements, as well as a friend, interlocutor, and critic of Immanuel Kant. His notoriously difficult writings contained many insights contrary to the assumptions of the Enlightenment, privileging experience, poetry, and relationship over logic and reason when considering the philosophy of the human person and its relationship to God. Themes in Hamann's work which proved influential were language, the critique of reason, a restrained view of human knowledge, and sexuality.
