Short Description
"Johann Georg Hamann (/ˈhɑːmən/; German: [ˈhaːman]; August 27, 1730 – June 21, 1788) was a German Lutheran philosopher from Königsberg known as the “the Wizard of the North” who was one of the leader figures of post Kantian philosophy. His work was used by his student J. G. Herder as the main support of the Sturm und Drang movement, and is associated with the Counter-Enlightenment and Romanticism.

He introduced Kant, also from Königsberg, to both Hume – waking him from his "dogmatic slumber" – and Rousseau. Hamann was influenced by Hume, but he used his views to argue for rather than against Christianity." - (en.wikipedia.org 05.11.2019)
