Ernst Sigismund Mirbt
Ernst Sigismund Mirbt (born December 7, 1799 in Peilau , Lower Silesia , † July 20, 1847 near Jena ) was a German philosopher.
Mirbt was a professor of philosophy in Jena. He belonged to the school of Jakob Friedrich Fries . The theologian Carl Mirbt is the son of his half-brother Theodor Mirbt.
Mirbt was the son of the weaving and calico printing shop owner Johann Gottlieb Mirbt in Peilau and Johanne Renate Schmutzler from Ernsdorf. He attended the pedagogy and seminar of the Brethren, studied in Bonn and Göttingen and initially practiced the teaching profession at the school that he himself had attended as a student. Financial independence through an inheritance after his mother's death in 1825 enabled him to study at the University of Jena from 1826, where he became a private lecturer in 1832 and an associate professor in 1836. He drowned in the Saale on the morning of July 20, 1847 and was buried in the Johannisfriedhof in Jena.
