Jacob Böhme und Europa in Zeiten des Krieges

Jacob Böhme, a man from the seemingly remote town of Görlitz, is a figure of European significance. His writings quickly spread amongst intellectuals and, centuries after his death, have continued to inspire new approaches across a wide variety of academic disciplines. This volume brings together studies that examine his own views on Europe and the historical events that characterized his era. He witnessed the escalation of international conflicts and died a few years after the outbreak of the Thirty Years’ War. He reflected on the events of his time with both keen awareness and profound understanding.
