Theodor Schliephake

Friedrich Wilhelm Theodor Schliephake (published under FW Theodor Schliephake ; * April 28, 1808 in Dörnten , † September 8, 1871 in Heidelberg ) was a German philosopher , historian and university professor .

Life

Schliephake was the son of a pastor . He went through high school in Wolfenbüttel and then went to the University of Göttingen . In Göttingen, the philosopher Karl Christian Friedrich Krause had a great influence on him and his fellow students Hermann von Leonhardi and Heinrich Ahrens . He remained at the university until his promotion to Dr. phil. with a dissertation on Pythagorean philosophy . In 1831 he was involved in the Göttingen Revolution. After his time in Göttingen, he studied art in Dresdenthen he became a teacher; first in Hanau , then in Heidelberg.

In 1837, Schliephake accepted an appointment as associate professor of history and philosophy at the University of Brussels , where he met his college friend Ahrens again. In 1843 he left the academic environment again and followed the invitation to become tutor for the children from the second marriage of the late Duke Wilhelm von Nassau . He stayed at the court in Wiesbaden until 1856. During this time he was given the title of Privy Councilor . This was followed by a time as director of the Nassau State Archives, which led him to the headquarters of the Central Archives in Idstein .

Schliephake returned to Heidelberg after he was offered an extraordinary professorship in philosophy at the University of Heidelberg in 1857 . The hoped-for full professorship did not materialize due to strong opposition. Nevertheless, his teaching was probably popular, which should also have been shown at his funeral .

The Schliephakestrasse in Frankfurt am Main was named after him.
