Johann Georg Hamann - Religion und Gesellschaft (German, Hardcover)

To know the nature of a man, noted J. G. Hamann in 1759 in his Morsels, Crumbs, and Fragments, you must inquire about the conditions of his life. The 24 essays in the present volume reveal Hamann s position at the crossroads of different social constellations. They raise new questions about the Konigsberg scholar s ideas regarding the history of society and religion, social theory, economics, philosophy, political science, and religious studies. In this way, they help us to more precisely locate Hamann s place in the key discourses of the Enlightenment."
