The First German Philosopher: The Mysticism of Jakob Böhme by Cecilia Muratori

By Cecilia Muratori

This publication investigates Hegel’s interpretation of the paranormal philosophy of Jakob Böhme (1575-1624), thought of within the context of the reception of Böhme within the 18th and nineteenth centuries, and of Hegel’s personal realizing of mysticism as a philosophical process. the 3 sections of this e-book current: the historic heritage of Hegel’s come upon with Böhme’s writings; the advance of 2 assorted conceptions of mysticism in Hegel’s paintings; and eventually Hegel’s method of Böhme’s philosophy, discussing intimately the references to Böhme either in released writings and manuscripts. in keeping with Hegel, Böhme is “the first German philosopher”. the cause of putting Böhme on the very starting of German philosophy is that Hegel considers him to be a profound philosopher, regardless of his rudimentary schooling. Hegel’s fascination with Böhme as a rule issues the mystic’s knowing of the symbiotic relation among God and his contrary, the satan: he considers this to be the genuine speculative middle of Böhme’s idea. by way of analyzing Böhme, Hegel intends to loose the speculative content material of his concept from the restrictions of the insufficient, barbarous shape during which the mystic expressed it, and in addition to disencumber Böhme from the prejudices surrounding his writings, putting him firmly within the territory of philosophy and detaching him from the obscurity of esotericism. Combining historic reconstructions and philosophical argumentation, this e-book publications the reader via a massive section in German philosophy, and eventually into an inquiry in regards to the dating among mysticism and philosophy itself.
