Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Moritz Chalybäus (born July 3, 1796 in Pfaffroda , Electorate of Saxony , † September 22, 1862 in Dresden ) was a German philosopher. As a university lecturer, he represented Hegelianism and theism.

Life

Chalybäus attended the Princely School of St. Afra in Meissen. After graduating from high school, he studied at the University of Leipzig , which made him a Dr. phil. PhD. He first worked as a private tutor in Vienna , then as a teacher at the Kreuzschule , in St. Afra and at the Saxon Military Academy in Dresden.

The Christian Albrechts University of Kiel in the Duchy of Holstein appointed him to its chair for philosophy in 1839 . His son Robert took part in the Schleswig-Holstein uprising and kept a stiff leg from the battle of Idstedt. In 1852, with nine other colleagues, Heinrich Chalybäus returned to Saxony. In 1854 he was reinstated in Kiel. As in 1850/51 he was rector of the CAU in 1858/59 .

Chalybäus belonged to the mediating Hegelianism . He was best known for the historical development of speculative philosophy from Kant to Hegel, which was developed in his lectures and printed in 1837 (5th edition 1860). It was translated twice into the English language (1854 by Tulck and 1860 by Edersheim). In his main work System of Speculative Ethics (2 vols.) 1850 Chalybäus represented an eclectic theism .

In August 1824 he gave an illegible recipient a Leipziger Kommersbuch (2nd edition, 1816). It is probably the only copy with 90 pages and its dedication in the archive of the Corps Thuringia Leipzig .
