- Abstract
The article provides information on the philosophical contributions of Johann Georg Hamann. According to the article, Hamann became famous in Germany due to his philosophical viewpoints. However, he and his disciples such as Jacobi and Herder were misinterpreted and their views were believed to be against the views of German Enlightenment. On the other hand, there were other philosophers who rendered their support in counterpointing the idea of counter-enlightenment issue of Hamann's views including Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, Soren Kierkegaard, and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe.
