during this biography -- translated for the 1st time into English -- German theologian Oswald Bayer describes the lifestyles and paintings of journalist-theologian Johann Georg Hamann (17301788). At a time whilst it appeared that the forces of secularization have been trying to declare the longer term, Hamann churned out small guides geared toward undermining the Enlightenment zeitgeist, turning its assumptions the other way up and skewering its pretensions. even if mostly forgotten till contemporary occasions, Hamann as radical dissenter -- whom Goethe known as the "brightest guy of his age" -- is still correct this present day, as Bayer indicates during this book.
