Bernhard Stöger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernhard Stöger (born January 12, 1757 in Passau ; † May 6, 1815 in Bogen bei Straubing ) was a German Catholic theologian , philosopher and educator .

Life

After visiting the schools in his home town, Stöger entered the Benedictine order in the Oberalteich monastery . Here he completed his first studies and continued them in the Sankt Emmeram monastery in Regensburg. He studied mathematics, history, oriental languages, dogmatics , ethics and canon law . After he had given his Primiz in 1780 , he became pastor at the pilgrimage church Bogenberg . From 1782 to 1786 he instructed the younger priests in mathematics, philosophy and oriental languages. In 1785 he was offered a surprising appointment at the University of Salzburg , where he held public lectures for 16 years as a professor of logic . During this time he also administered the university's secretariat from 1792 and from 1797 held the preaching office in the university church.

At the end of 1801 he went back to the Oberaltaich monastery and was provost there in Gossersdorf , where the administration of the extensive economy enabled him to study scientifically. After the abolition of the monastery, Stöger became professor of Greek and Roman literature at the grammar school in Dillingen on the Danube in 1804 and the next year rector there. In the same capacity he got a job at the Lyceum in Straubing in 1809 . This sphere of activity closed to him again after two years when the college in Straubing was closed.

Regardless of his unstable health, Stöger took over the position of director of studies and professor in Passau in 1811 . In 1813, increasing illnesses forced him to resign from his rector's office and to suspend public lectures in the next year. Repeated strokes thwarted his doctors' efforts and hopes of his health recovery waned. The Royal Bavarian Government, which had left him in possession of his previous income for a year, also indicated its satisfaction with his administration by awarding him a canonical in Mattsee . Before he went there, however, he died.

Act

In addition to his theological studies, Stöger had dealt with philosophy, especially with the theory of philosophy, and presented this systematically. The results of his research include his Tentamen finale ex Logica et metaphysica published in 1786 , the Positiones ex Logica et Metaphysica written in 1788, and especially the three volumes of his instructions for the study of theoretical philosophy published between 1789 and 1795 .

From the logical judgments, Stöger also sought to offer a useful extract from Kant's Critique of Pure Reason in 1797. In doing so, he endeavored to derive the categories instead of reducing the logical judgments, as Fichte had done, to the subjectivity of the human mind given by that form or rather that expressing this form. The educated philosopher can also recognize his position ex Hermeneutica sacra Veteris et Novi Testamenti , written in 1784, and the Harmony of the true principles of the Church, morality and reason , translated from the French in 1792 .
