This book considers Hegel's interpretation of Jakob Bohme's mystical philosophy, against the background of the reception of Bohme in the 18th and 19th centuries, and of Hegel's understanding of mysticism as a philosophical approach. The three sections of this book explore: the historical background of Hegel's encounter with Bohme's writings; two different conceptions of mysticism in Hegel's work and the responses of other famous readers of Bohme (especially Schelling); Hegel's references to Bohme both in published writings and manuscripts. According to Hegel, Jakob Bohme “is the first German philosopher”. The reason for placing Bohme at the very beginning of German philosophy is that Hegel considers the cobbler to be a profound thinker, despite a serious lack of education. Hegel's fascination with Bohme mainly lies in the mystic's understanding of the symbiotic relation between God and its opposite, the Devil: he considers this to be the true speculative core of Bohme's thought. By int
