The First German Philosopher

Mehr zum Buch

Hegel's interpretation of Jakob Böhme's mystical philosophy serves as a focal point, exploring Böhme's influence in the 18th and 19th centuries and Hegel's own views on mysticism. The book is structured into three sections: the historical context of Hegel's engagement with Böhme, the evolution of mysticism in Hegel's philosophy, and a detailed analysis of Hegel's references to Böhme. Hegel regards Böhme as a foundational figure in German philosophy, emphasizing the significance of Böhme's insights on the relationship between God and the Devil, and aims to elevate Böhme's thought beyond esotericism into philosophical discourse.
