Bartholomäus von Carneri , completely Bartholomäus Ritter von Carneri zu Eben- and Bergfelden, (born November 3, 1821 in Trient , † May 18, 1909 in Marburg an der Drau ) was an Austrian politician , poet and philosopher .

Life

His father was a large landowner in Styria and a police chief in Graz and Venice , his mother Maria Contessa Giuliari came from Verona . Bartholomäus von Carneri studied philosophy and law in Vienna , which he had to abandon in 1841 due to a serious illness. From 1857 he owned a Wildhaus estate in the Drautal in Styria, which he sold in 1883. After that he was a private scholar . He lived in Graz until 1891.

From 1861 to 1883 he was a member of the Styrian state parliament . There he represented the interests of the large landowners and was a politically German liberal . At times (from 1870) he was also in the Reichsrat , but because he was too moderate, he was voted out in favor of a German national.

Various philosophical writings originate from him, some of which achieved high editions. He developed an ethic on a materialistic (Darwinian) basis and was influenced by Ernst Haeckel , Ludwig Feuerbach , Baruch de Spinoza , Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel , Immanuel Kant and Wilhelm Wundt . His ethics resulted in a defense of civil rights for all (republican form of government) and an end to wars in a cosmopolitanism. He also wrote for newspapers and published poetry and translations.

In 1901 he received an honorary doctorate in Vienna. In 1851 he married Luise von Schärfenberg, with whom he had a son and a daughter.
