Autorenporträt
Baron Friedrich von Hügel (1852–1925), was an influential Austrian Roman Catholic layman, religious writer, Modernist theologian and philosopher. Born in Florence, Italy, to an aristocratic family, von Hügel moved to Britain in his early life and remained there for much of his career. He was chiefly known for his profound work on spirituality and religious experience, often blending his philosophical insights with his deep Christian faith. He is best remembered for his seminal work, 'The Mystical Element of Religion' (1908), published in two volumes, which profoundly impacted 20th-century religious thought. In this substantial piece, von Hügel explored the nature of mysticism and its relationship to organized religion, drawing upon the life and writings of St. Catherine of Genoa. His approach was characterized by a meticulous and scholarly analysis of both the phenomenon of mysticism and the psychological, historical, and institutional contexts in which it exists. Von Hügel's literary style combined rigorous intellectual inquiry with a rich narrative that often drew upon personal experience and introspection. His synthesis of the empirical and the spiritual, the historical and the personal, made his works a staple in discussions on religious philosophy and Christian mysticism. Von Hügel's contributions to theology and religious studies continue to be studied and revered for their depth and intellectual vigor.
