Franco Petri Burgersdijk
Franco Petri Burgersdijk (also: Burgersdick, Burgersdicius ; born May 3, 1590 in De Lier in Delfland, † February 19, 1635 in Leiden ) was a Dutch philosopher, logician and physicist .
Life
Franco Petri Burgersdijk was the son of Peter Burgersdijk and his wife Katharina. He attended the Latin school in Amersfoort from 1604 and the Latin school in Delft in 1606. On May 6, 1610, he enrolled at the University of Leiden , where he read the lectures of Daniel Heinsius in Greek, Dominicus Baudius and Petrus Cunaeus on Roman antiquity and history, Johannes Polyander a Kerckhoven on theology and Gilbert Jaccaeus (1585 –1628) on philosophy. After traveling through France and Germany, he spent half a year at the Protestant college in Samur, where he heard the lectures of Marcus Duncan de Cerisantes and, from 1614, those of Philippe Duplessis-Mornay on philosophy.
When Caspar van Baerle resigned his post as subregent of the State College in Leiden, he received his position on July 20, 1619 and became an associate professor of logic (rhetoric) at the University of Leiden on March 25, 1620. On March 31, 1620, he earned the degree of master's degree in philosophy. In October 1620 he was also given the extraordinary professorship of ethics. On February 8, 1621 he took over the full professorship of logic (rhetoric) and ethics and on May 9, 1628 he had taken over the professorship of natural history (physics) and rhetoric. In his capacity as a university lecturer in Leiden, he also took part in the organizational tasks of the university and was rector of the alma mater in 1629, 1630 and 1634 . His textbooks stylize him as a dominant figure in Dutch scholasticism. They were published posthumously after his death and were used for a long time.
He was married to Ursula, a daughter of the multiple mayor of Leiden, Jacob Wilhelmssohn Verboom, from whom two children came. His son Peter became a curator at the Leiden University.
