Andreas Planer in the Tübingen Professorengalerie

Andreas Planer (* 1546 in Bolzano ; † August 29, 1606 in Tübingen ) was a German doctor and philosopher, professor of logic, metaphysics and medicine in Strasbourg and Tübingen and rector in Tübingen. He always called himself Athesinus .

Live and act

After preparatory studies in Bozen and Lindau, he moved to the University of Tübingen in 1564. After obtaining his master's degree there in 1566 and a doctorate in the medical faculty in 1569, he found employment at the University of Strasbourg in 1570 as a professor of logic and medicine. In 1578 he was appointed to Tübingen in the same double function to replace the deceased Jakob Schegk . He was held in high regard there and headed the rectorate three times. Among his writings is a detailed and proper explanation of the Aristotelian organon , which appeared in three parts:

• "Quaestionum dialecticarum pars prima" (1580, 2nd edition 1584)
• "Organi Aristotelis Analytica priora quaestionibus exposita" (1582)
• "Scientia demonstrandi from Aristotele duobus posteriorum Analyticorum libris conscripta" (1586)

He took a position opposite to the rhetorical direction of Petrus Ramus , as well as a real strict Aristotelian against Platonizing views.

With the exception of a larger work "Methodus medendi" (II fully. 1583. 1585. 8 °), his little medical work is recorded in smaller academic occasional publications:
