Johann Georg Hamann was a German Lutheran philosopher from Königsberg. Known by the pen name "the Magus (Wizard) of the North", he was one of the leading figures of post-Kantian philosophy. His work was used by his student Johann Gottfried Herder as the main support of the Sturm und Drang movement, and is associated with the Counter-Enlightenment and Romanticism.
