Georg Pasch , also: Paschius (born September 23, 1661 in Danzig ; † September 30, 1707 in Kiel ) was a German logician and Protestant theologian.

Life

The son of the businessman Heinrich Pasch initially attended the school in his hometown and was sent to the school in Graudenz after the death of his father in 1676 . In Graudenz he had taught himself the Polish language within six months and was able to give lessons there. In 1678 he switched to high school in Danzig. Here he completed his lessons with Aegidius Strauch II , Samuel Schelwig , Johann Peter Titius (1619–1689) and Wolfgang Rosteuscher (1614–1690), who brought him so far that he obtained his university entrance qualification. In 1681 he began studying philosophical and theological sciences at the University of Rostock . His teachers here were August Varenius , Michael Cobabus (around 1610–1686), Justus Christoph Schomerus , Johan Jacob Döbelius the Elder and Franz Wolff (1644–1710).

In 1682 he moved to the University of Wittenberg , but the death of his mother forced him to return to Danzig. On the return trip he had visited the University of Königsberg , where he had attended lectures by Christian Dreier , Melchior Zeidler , Samuel Werner (1637–1685), Johann Philipp Pfeiffer (1645–1695) and other professors. After settling his private affairs, he returned to Wittenberg via Frankfurt (Oder) and Berlin . Here were Abraham Calov , Johann Andreas Quenstedt , Johann Deutschmann , Michael Walther the Younger , Johann Friedrich Mayer , Andreas Sennert , Konstantin Ziegra , Christian Donati , Theodor Dassov and other his teachers in the field of theological knowledge.

In 1684 he acquired his master's degree in philosophical sciences and then went on an excursion to the University of Leipzig , the University of Halle , the University of Jena and the University of Erfurt . Returned to Wittenberg, he became an adjunct of the philosophical faculty with the defense of the dissertation de brutorum sensibus atque cognitione in 1686 . In order to pursue further studies, he began a large-scale educational journey. This first led him to the University of Altdorf , where he attended the lectures of Johannes Saubert the Younger , Johann Christoph Wagenseil , and Johann Christoph Sturm . Via Nuremberg , Regensburg , Munich , Augsburg and Ulm he reached the University of Tübingen , where Johann Adam Osiander and Georg Heinrich Keller (1624–1702) exerted an influence on his education.

Then he went to the University of Strasbourg to Sebastian Schmidt , Isaak Faust (1631–1702), Johann Faust and Johann Joachim Zentgraf . Then he visited Wiesbaden , Frankfurt am Main and the University of Gießen , where Philipp Ludwig Hanneken , Kilian Rudrauf (1627–1690) and David Clodius were his instructors. He soon arrived at the University of Marburg , where he met Johann Hein (1610–1686), Samuel Andreae and Philipp Johann Tilemann . He also traveled to Copenhagen and came to Holland via Cologne and Kleve . Here he had visited the University of Leiden , the University of Utrecht , the University of Groningen and the University of Franeker , where he met the theologians and orientalists Friedrich Spanheim the Younger (1632–1701), Étienne Le Moyne (also Stephanus Moynius; 1624–1689) , Jakob Trigland (1652–1705), Melchior Leydecker , Johann Georg Graevius , Johann Leusden , Campegius Vitringa and Jacob Rhenferd (1654–1712).

He reached France via Brussels , where he frequented the libraries there and came into contact with the scholars Gilles Menage and Pierre Daniel Huet . He then traveled to England, toured the sights in London and had visited the universities of Oxford and Cambridge . In England he had met Edward Stillingfleet (1635–1699), Richard Baxter , Robert Boyle , Adrian Beverland (around 1653–1712), Edward Bernard (1638–1696) and in Windsor Isaac Vossius (1618–1689). On his return to Germany, he visited the Herzog August Library in Wolfenbüttel, had made the acquaintance of Friedrich Ulrich Calixt , Gebhardt Theodor Meier , Paul Heigel , Christoph Tobias Wideburg (1647-1717) and Johann Eisenhart at the University of Helmstedt and followed suit in the winter of 1688 Kiel to recover from the rigors of the journey.

However, Georg Ernst Heldberg (1641–1688), who worked as a professor of logic and metaphysics, died in Kiel . A professor of ethics was soon found to succeed him. However, a successor was sought for that professorship and Georg Pasch was offered this post. Since Pasch knew Kiel from his Rostock student days, he was encouraged to stay and in 1689 accepted the appointment by Christian Albrecht of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf . After he had refused an appointment as a church council pastor at the Nikolaikirche in Wismar, in 1701 he was also given the professorship of logic and metaphysics. In 1706, Pasch resigned the professorship of ethics in favor of his brother-in-law Sebastian Kortholt (April 11, 1675 Kiel – October 18, 1760 ibid.) And took on an extraordinary theological professorship in the same year. However, he was denied any great effectiveness in this office because he died of the effects of a dropsy in the chest. Pasch, who had also given lectures on casuistry , dogmatics and the English language, remained important primarily because of his work in the field of philosophical sciences.

In 1689 he married Auguste, the daughter of Christian Kortholt the Elder , but the marriage remained childless.
