biography

Kaulbach studied from 1931 at the universities of Erlangen, Freiburg im Breisgau ( Heidegger ) and Munich. He completed his studies at the University of Erlangen in 1937 with a doctorate from Emil Lask's student Eugen Herrigel . The dissertation is entitled: On the logic and category theory of the mathematical subject and defends the indispensable clear basis of mathematics. After 1945 he became a lecturer and in 1948 a professor at the Braunschweig University of Education , which was called the Kant University. His calling should underpin this designation.

He completed his habilitation at the Technical University of Braunschweig under Hermann Glockner in 1952 with the topic Philosophical Foundations of Scientific Symbolism , in which he worked out the body and visual basis of symbols , which he followed up on Ernst Cassirer . Afterwards he was associate professor from 1959 and full professor from 1969 to 1980 at the University of Münster . His specialty was the philosophy of Immanuel Kant , to whom he dedicated numerous books and important articles. A second focus was Nietzsche . The life's work on perspectivism remained unfinished.

One of his students is Volker Gerhardt . His last student, Ursula Reitemeyer-Witt, developed a practical anthropology based on a concept of the body linked to human dignity, which ties in with Kaulbach's action-theoretical interpretation of Kant's epistemology.
