  Franz Xaver von Baader - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Franz Xaver von Baader (March 27, 1765 – May 23, 1841), was a German philosopher and theologian.
Baader starts from the position that human reason by itself can never reach the end it aims at, and maintains that we cannot throw aside the presuppositions of faith, church and tradition.
Baader is, without doubt, among the greatest speculative theologians of modern Catholicism, and his influence has extended itself even beyond the precincts of his own church.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Franz Xaver von Baader
Baader had a temperamental sympathy for the German Protestant mystic Böhme, but for Kant's philosophy, especially its ethical autonomism, viz.: that human reason alone and apart from God is the primary source of the supreme rule of conduct, he had nothing but disgust.
Baader's aim was a theistic philosophy which would embrace the worlds of nature and of spirit and afford at once a metaphysical solution of the problem of knowledge (science) and an understanding of the Christian idea and the Divine activity as manifested by revelation.
Baader apparently until towards the close of his life held that the Church should have direct -- not simply indirect -- authority even in civil affairs, and he was enthusiastic for a reinstatement, ina form adapted to his times, of the medieval relation between the two orders.

Usualy known as a Roman Catholic theologian and mystical philosopher in books on Hegel's time, Franz von Baader lived in Scottland and England as a young man for 5 years (1792-1796), where he came under the deep influence of the scottish anarchist couple Mary Wollstonecrafts (also a first feminist) and her man Wiliam Godwin.
Living in Munich, he played an important role in the first years of the University of Munich and became a friend of Schelling, whom he is said to have influenced toward a reactionary mysticism.
According to what Princess Wilhelm of Prussia (nee Marianne von Hessen-Homburg) wrote into her diary on March 6, 1830, when Hegel had vistied her that day, she had mentioned Höderlin to him and he began to speak of the glowing time of his youth, Hölderlin and his book 'Hyperion'.

He publicly associated himself with known occultists, like Franz von Baader.
He structured his philosophy in a manner identical to the Hermetic use of ‘Correspondences!’ He relied on histories of thought that discussed Hermes Trismegistus, Pico della Mirandola, Robert Fludd, and Knorr von Rosenroth alongside Plato, Galileo, Descartes, and Newton.
In Berlin, Hegel developed a friendship with Franz von Baader, the premiere occultist and mystic of the day.
