Johann Georg Hamann (1730-1788) is a major figure not only in
German philosophy but also in literature and religious history. In
his own time he wrote penetrating criticisms of Herder, Kant,
Mendelssohn, and other Enlightenment thinkers; after his death he
was an important figure for Goethe, Hegel, Kierkegaard, and others.
It was only in the twentieth century, however, that the full and
radical extent of his 'linguistic' critique of philosophy was
recognized. This volume presents a new translation of a wide
selection of his essays, including both famous and lesser-known
works. Hamann's enigmatic prose-style was deliberately at odds with
Enlightenment assumptions about language, and a full apparatus of
annotation explains the numerous allusions in his essays. The
volume is completed by a historical and philosophical introduction
and suggestions for further reading.
