(1730-1788)
Born in KцІnigsberg (East Prussia) August 27, 1730. His early studies, as well as all subsequent life, were unsystematic, but inspired by a passionate search for truth, without any utilitarian purpose. Hamann led troubled lives, changed jobs and residence, some of the most fruitful ideas came to him in England, where he had lived since April 1757 and July 1758. Among his books - Socratic Attractions (Sokratische Denkwrdigkeiten, 1759); Crusades philologist (Kreuzzge des Philologen, 1762); Metakritika purism of reason (Metakritik ber den Purismus der Vernunft, 1784, publ. 1800); Thoughts about my life path (Gedanken ber meinen Lebenslauf, 1759, publ. 1821). Works Gaman fragmentary and unsystematic, consist of aphorisms, often have the character of prophecy and mysterious in content and mode of expression. Hamann died in Mц?nster 21 June 1788.
Hamann was a prophet of the literary movement of 'Sturm und Drang' and an opponent of the Enlightenment. In contrast to the rationalism of Kant emphasized the importance of the productive capacity of the senses. The separation of reason and feelings, which plays an essential role in the system of Kant, because of its abstractness seemed Gamanu sterile and contrary to our language, in which these two 'opposites' are merged.
