"Do either nothing or everything; the mediocre, the moderate, is repellant to me: I prefer an extreme." -Hamann to JG Lindner, 20 May 1756
ive seen a few tweets of yours that reference hamann. what would be the best introduction to his thought?

I just read Isaiah Berlin's book, Magus of the North, which was ok. I think I've already gleaned what I'd find in Hamann from having read Kierkegaard, McLuhan, Blake, Wittgenstein, etc. It's interesting how neglected he is though.

yes ive never heard of him. but i am interested in kierkegaard and wittgenstein, blake to a lesser extent. so if you read them, hamann is more or less superfluous?
