Eduard von Badenfeld

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Karl Franz Heinrich Eusebius Johann Sarkander Czeike of Baden Field (* 14. August 1800 in Troppau in Austrian Silesia ; † 6. December 1860 in Roßwald , castle Hoditz), known by the pseudonym Edward Silesius , was an Austrian writer.

Life

Eduard von Badenfeld had since 1808 Faustin Ens († 1858), the later Troppauer teacher and co-founder of the local high school museum , as an educator.

He studied with Johann Ludwig Deinhardstein , Friedrich Halm , Nikolaus Lenau , Eduard von Bauernfeld and Johann Gabriel Seidl at the University of Vienna Law and attended lectures by Anton Joseph Stein . During his studies he belonged from 1816 to the Vienna Burschenschaftlichen circle . He entered the civil service in 1826 and became district commissioner, in 1840 he became court designer , but later left the civil service and lived as a privateer in Dresden.

He was active as a writer and cultivated lyric and didactic poetry, drama and philosophy and published numerous literary articles in Viennese magazines and almanacs. Many of his writings, especially the travel descriptions, are written in the spirit of calobiotics (the art of leading a balanced, harmonious life that corresponds to the spiritual nature of man). Because of his popular philosophical point of view, he was a staunch opponent of the school of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel ; rather, he can be regarded as a representative of late post-Kantian moral psychology.

Eduard von Badenfeld took his own life out of melancholy. He was buried in the old cemetery near the church in Roßwald with his two wives; after the old cemetery was closed, their corpses were reburied in the new cemetery between 1871 and 1873.
