Life

Johann Georg Hamann was born in he covers Königsberg in 1730, the son of a midwife and a barber-surgeon. At 16 he began study in philosophy and theology, later changing to law; he also was widely read in literature, philology, mathematics and science. He left university without completing his studies and became the governor to a wealthy family on a Baltic estate, continuing his extraordinarily broad reading and private research. He took up a job in the family firm of a friend from his Königsberg days, Christoph Berens, and was sent on an obscure mission to London, in which he evidently failed. He then led a high life until he ran out of friends, money and support. In a garret, depressed and impoverished, he read the Bible cover to cover and experienced a religious conversion.

He returned to the House of Berens in promising invitations Riga, where they evidently forgave him his failure.

Nevertheless his principal activity was as an editor and a writer; he was considered one of the most widely-read scholars of his time (greatly aided by his fluency in many languages), as well as a notorious author. During this time, despite his committed Christianity, he lived with a woman whom he never married but to whom he remained devoted and faithful, having four children on whom he doted, and who occasionally feature in his writings (principally as unruly distractions to the author's scholarship).
