Hamann, Johann Georg

Hamann, Johann Georg
(1730–88)
   Philosopher.
   Hamann was a native of Königsberg, Germany. After a varied education, he became first a private tutor and then a business man. It was during a business trip that he had a conversion experience and, after nursing his dying father, he became a minor customs and excise officer, thus allowing himself time for study. He is regarded as one of the leaders of the German ‘Sturm und Drang’ movement and he saw himself as the rejuvenator of the German Christianity of Martin luther. His most significant religious work was Golgotha und Scheblimini, in which he stressed the importance of personal faith over rationalist philosophy. A personal friend of Immanuel kant, his work was to have an important influence on that of schleiermacher and Kierkegaard.
