Emil Hammacher

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Hammacher (21 March 1885, Köln — 1916, killed in France)[1] was a German philosopher, proponent of objective idealism and mystic,[2] doctor of Philosophy and Law, professor of philosophy at the University of Bonn.[3]

He studied in Geneva, Heidelberg, Berlin and Bonn.[4] Hammacher borrowed the basic tenets of objective idealism from Hegel. He rejected dialectics and developed the mystical doctrine of "ethical self-awareness of the spirit" as "the supreme and fundamental value." In his work directed against Marxism, Hammacher holds the idea that the socialization of the means of production and materialism are contrary to the laws of morality.[5]
