Abstract

The present article deals with G. W. F. Hegel's review of J. G. Hamann's works, using «Socratic memorabilia», Hamann's debut piece, as a case in point. It is demostrated that along with penetrating analysis and delineation of the main trends of Hamann's thought Hegel views his teaching through the lens of his own philosophical system. This factor significantly affects his interpretation of select theses of Hamann. Reconstruction of Hamannian thought in Hegel’s review presupposes his treatment first and foremost as that of a chain in dialectical development of the German spirit.
