More about the book

Focusing on the evolution of philosophical interpretation in eighteenth-century Germany, the work highlights the contributions of Lutheran thinkers Christoph August Heumann and Johann Jacob Brucker. It examines how Heumann shifted away from biographical approaches, leading Brucker to develop a method centered on abstract philosophical systems. The narrative explores the influence of late ancient Platonism, particularly Plotinus, and reveals the Lutheran religious assumptions that shaped this new philosophical framework, alongside critiques of contemporary scholars like Thomas Taylor.
