Summary

English summary: Hermetic thinking, in terms of teachings on wisdom with a cross-denominational tendency, experienced growing resonance in the poetry and philosophy of early modern Europe. Hermeticism stands in close relationship to Paracelsism, alchemy, Rosicrucianism, Neo-Platonism, the Christian Kabbalah, and mysticism. It becomes a reflection of nature as a creation of God in that the chemical and biological processes that nature constitutes always show the spirit of God at work. It is also reflected in a new concept of love, which is meant to be an all-encompassing principle. What makes Hermeticism in early modern literature and cultural studies particularly interesting is the variety of literary and artistic forms that are used therein. From novels to poetry, from a philosophical treatise to prayer and devotional literature, from song to an emblem, many genres are represented. German text. German description: Im Sinne einer Weisheitslehre mit konfessionell ubergreifender Tendenz fand das hermetische Denken im fruhneuzeitlichen Europa wachsende Resonanz in Dichtung und Philosophie. Der Hermetismus steht dabei in engen Bezugen zum Paracelsismus, zur Alchemie, zum Rosenkreuzertum, zum Neuplatonismus, zur christlichen Kabbala und zur Mystik. Er aussert sich in einer neuen Hinwendung zur Natur als Schopfung Gottes, indem er in den chemischen und biologischen Prozessen, die diese Natur konstituieren, immer den Geist Gottes am Werk sieht. Er aussert sich aber auch in einem neuen Begriff der Liebe, die als allumfassendes Prinzip gedacht wird. Was den Hermetismus der Fruhen Neuzeit fur Literatur- und Kulturwissenschaftler besondere interessant macht, ist die Vielfalt literarischer und kunstlerischer Formen, derer er sich bedient. Vom Roman bis zum Gedicht, vom philosophischen Traktat bis zu Gebet und Andachtsliteratur, vom Lied bis zum Emblem finden sich die verschiedensten Gattungen vertreten.
