Abstract
Abstract The essay examines the form of paradox as a pattern modelling hermetic knowledge in early modernity. Focussing on literary texts of different genres, it deals with both the poetic and religious functions of paradoxical topics in European Hermetism. Thus, the essay contributes to the recent debate on the relationship between the literary text and the fictional organisation of discourses of knowledge, using examples from 17th-century authors such as Daniel von Czepko, Angelus Silesius, and Quirinus Kuhlmann.
