In this biography -- translated for the first time into English --
German theologian Oswald Bayer describes the life and work of
journalist-theologian Johann Georg Hamann (1730 1788). At a time
when it seemed that the forces of secularization were attempting to
claim the future, Hamann churned out small publications aimed at
undermining the Enlightenment zeitgeist, turning its assumptions
upside down and skewering its pretensions. Although largely
forgotten until recent times, Hamann as radical dissenter -- whom
Goethe called the "brightest man of his age" -- remains relevant
today, as Bayer shows in this book.
