Gotthilf Heinrich von Schubert (1780-1860) was a german doctor, botanical and naturalist. Schubert aimed to create a religiously-grounded interpretation of the cosmos. His masterpice "Symbolism of Dreams" (1814) was one of the most famous books of its time, exercising influence over E. T. A. Hoffmann, and later on, Sigmund Freud and C. G. Jung. Schubert advocated an ecumenical "awakened Christianity" which found evidence for God both in Nature and in the human soul.
