Николай Кузанский
Johannes Hoff's earliest publication build on the philosophies of Jacques Derrida and Michel Foucault (Spiritualität und Sprachverlust, 1999) as well as on the Renaissance philosophy of Nicholas of Cusa (Kontingenz, Berührung, Überschreitung, 2007). This stream of his research culminated in his book "The Analogical Turn: Rethinking Modernity with Nicholas of Cusa" (2013), which was publicly discussed in 2016 in an Online Symposium of the Syndicate Network
