  Georg Friedrich Creuzer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Georg Friedrich Creuzer (10 March 1771 6 February 1858), was a German philologist and archaeologist.
Creuzer's first and most famous work was his Symbolik und Mythologie der alten Völker, besonders der Griechen (1810-1812), in which he maintained that the mythology of Homer and Hesiod came from an Eastern source through the Pelagians, and reflected the symbolism of an ancient revelation.
This work was vigorously attacked by Hermann in his Briefen über Homer und Hesiod, and in his letter, addressed to Creuzer, Über das Wesen und die Behandlung der Mythologie; by JH Voss in his Antisymbolik; and by Chr.

Educated at Marburg and then Jena, Georg Friedrich Creuzer was appointed professor of philology at Marburg in 1802, and in 1804 professor of philology and ancient history at Heidelberg, where he taught for almost forty-five years.
Creuzer argued that ancient Greek religion derived from a spiritually pure and noble monotheism carried from India by wandering priests.
For Creuzer, the symbol embodies monotheism; myths are the vehicles of polytheism.

 Richard Rothe
He studied theology in the universities of Heidelberg and Berlin (1817-20) under Karl Daub, Schleiermacher and Neander, the philosophers and historians Georg Hegel, Friedrich Creuzer and FC Schlosser exercising a considerable influence in shaping his thought.
In Berlin and Wittenberg he came under the influence of Pietism as represented by such men as Rudolf Stier and Friedrich Tholuck, though Tholuck pronounced him a "very modern Christian." He afterwards confessed that, though he had been a sincere, he was never a happy, Pietist.
In Rome, under the broadening influence of classical and ecclesiastical art, he learned to look at Christianity in its human and universalistic aspects, and began to develop his great idea, the inseparable relation of religion and morals.

 Edward A. Beach: Excerpts from "The Potencies of God(s)"
(22) Creuzer's basic thesis about the origins of Greek mythology was that their deities and sacred myths had been transmitted from the Orient to the (proto-Greek) Pelasgians via missionizing priests from Egypt and the Orient.
Although very near to the truth, thought Creuzer, this doctrine was subject to a progressive erosion and loss of meaning, as the subordinate aspects and powers of God's order gradually came to be seen as separate deities in their own right.
In this way, the primordial monotheism was lost, the popular myths diverged increasingly from their original symbolic meanings, polytheism was born, and in the process diluted traces of the ancient wisdom spread in numerous versions across the face of the earth.

Fashion, Georg Simmel once remarked, is distinguished from history by the fact that its changes are without substance.
By keeping post- structuralism at a distance, by assigning it the status of an exotic fashion, American criticism has avoided the experience of poststructuralism, in Hegel's sense of experience as a transformative sufferance in which not merely consciousness changes, but also its objects and its criteria of truth.
For Creuzer, she was the inner voice that guided his researches the secret addressee of his translations from the classical sources.

According to Todorov, it was Friedrich Creuzer who first introduced the category of time into the discussion of symbolic and allegorical form.
Benjamin also invokes Creuzer's formulation in the Trauerspiel: "The distinction between the two modes is therefore to be sought in the momentariness which allegory lacks...There [in the symbol] we have momentary totality; here we have progression in a series of moments."

Among the many "attacks" on Müller were those by admirers of Creuzer, who were adamant against Müller's ideas on local origins which were the main point of difference between the two scholars.
All the same, Bernal is not interested in Creuzer, as the latter pleaded for India instead of Egypt.

If they had sought to capture the universe in the form of the literary fragment, a masterful miniature of pithy prose, Novalis's unedited notes are elliptical and cryptic by comparison.
Adorno's paradoxical use of the whole as a foil for the fragment has its roots in the romantic reception of idealist philosophy where "particular" and "whole" enter into a dialetical relationship (chapter 1 will treat this in greater detail).
