After Enlightenment: Hamann as Post-Secular Visionary is a comprehensive introduction to the life span and works of 18th-century German philosopher, J. G. Hamann, the founding dad of what has become known as Radical Orthodoxy. Provides a long-overdue, comprehensive intro to Haman's fascinating life and questionable works, including his role as a friend and critic of Kant and some of the very most renowned German intellectuals of this. Features significant new translations of the main passages from across Hamann's writings, some of which have never been translated into English. Examines Hamann's highly original views on a variety of topics, including faith, reason, revelation, Christianity, biblical exegesis, Socrates, theological appearance, language, sexuality, faith, politics, and the relationship between Judaism and Christianity. Presents Hamann as the 'founding dad' of any distinctly post-modern, post-secular theology and, so, instead of the 'postmodern triumvirate' of Nietzsche, Heidegger, and Derrida. Considers Hamann's work as a touchtone of modern Jewish-Christian dialogue, because of debates along with his friend Moses Mendelssohn. Explores Hamann's role as the visionary founder of any 'metacritical' movement that radically message or calls into question the basic key points of modern secular reason, and so reprises the debate between those defending Hamann's views and those labelling him the bte noir of the Enlightenment.
