Jacobus Odé

Jacobus Odé (also: Jakob Ode ; * December 11, 1698 in Zutphen ; † November 28, 1751 in Utrecht ) was a Dutch philosopher, Reformed theologian, mathematician, astronomer, geographer and physicist.

Life

Ode had enrolled at the University of Harderwijk on September 12, 1716 to study philosophical sciences and literature. In 1721 he moved to the University of Utrecht , where under Josephus Serrurier he obtained the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy with the treatise de atmaera . On December 27, 1723 he became associate professor of philosophy at the Utrecht University and on January 17, 1724 he took over the full chair of philosophy.

His other studies dealt with theology. In addition, he received his doctorate in theology on November 15, 1727 under Hieronymus Simons van Alphen under Hieronymus Simons van Alphen with the theological, scholastic, anti-Spinozist treatise de decreto Dei , was appointed associate professor of theology on December 15, 1727, and received a qualification on February 16, 1736 to a full professorship. Lectures on church history were mainly held during that time and he participated in the dogmatic debates of his time. His literary engagement with the Groningen professor Antonius Driessen (1684–1748) must be emphasized here. His scientific interests came more and more to the fore, so that on December 9, 1743 he was given the full professorship of astronomy, mathematics and experimental physics. He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Utrecht University and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1730/31 and 1743/44 . Odes 1739 published in Utrecht in the printing unit Commentarius de angelis was by decree of the Roman Catholic Congregation on the July 8, 1765 Index set.

His marriage on July 25, 1748 with Jacoba Adolphine (April 22, 1686 - October 12, 1750), daughter of the major in the Grenadier Regiment Adolph Frisvogel and his wife Sophia van der Hoeff, remained childless.
