Coelum empyreum, die Unendlichkeit und die Metaphern Gottes

Abstrakt

In the face of the so -called “Copernican Revolution”, and also due to the incredible development of astronomy over centuries, whose consummation was Newton’s physics, Europeans’ views on the Universe dramatically transformed, primarily, were symbolically secularized. The thinkers and writers from the turn of the 18th and 19th century, such as J.G. Fichte and Jean Paul, reflected on God, the Absolute, and human, creating a characteristic discourse full of metaphors taken from the cosmology of their time and from the past.
