Hymnen an die Nacht / Die Christenheit oder Europa by Novalis

"Hymnen an die Nacht / Die Christenheit oder Europa" by Novalis is a work written between October and November 1799. The pamphlet presents a philosophy of history and religion for a Europe destabilized by Napoleon's rise and the Pope's death. Novalis argues that political ideologies and nationalism have filled the spiritual void left by religion's decline, leaving Europe disenchanted. He envisions a renewed Christianity based on poetic inspiration and aesthetics that could usher in a new golden age, transforming the continent into a universal spiritual community beyond war and nationalism.
