Friedrich August Müller

August Friedrich Müller (born December 15, 1684 in Obergräfenhain ; † May 1, 1761 in Leipzig ) was a German legal scholar and logician.

Life

August Friedrich was the son of Johann Adam Müller and his wife Johanne Susanne, daughter of the pharmacist in Rochlitz Johann Fromhold. Educated by his father, he attended the Princely School in Grimma in 1697 and studied at the University of Leipzig from 1703 . Here he initially completed a degree in philosophical sciences, with Andreas Rüdiger (1673–1731) being his most important teacher. On the side he turned to the law under Gottlieb Gerhard Titius (1661-1714).

In 1707 he acquired a master's degree in Leipzig and set up a philosophical school there, which was well frequented. After a stay at the University of Erfurt , where he received his doctorate in law on October 8, 1714 , he returned to Leipzig, where he also gave lectures on law. Because it was feared that the teacher, known for his comprehensible lecture, would accept a position offered to him at the University of Halle , he was tied to the Leipzig University as an associate professor of philosophy on October 19, 1731 , and in 1732 a full professor of logic.

To celebrate his name-day on August 3, 1725, the Leipzig student Collegium Musicum performed the cantata Zerreißet, zersprenget, smashed the crypt, composed by Christian Friedrich Henrici and composed by Johann Sebastian Bach .

On September 20, 1735, Müller became a collegiate at the small princely college , was decemvir of the university and also participated in the organizational tasks of the Leipzig university. He was dean of the philosophical faculty, procancellor and in the winter semesters 1733, 1743 and 1757 rector of the Alma Mater .
