Jakob Frohschammer (born January 6, 1821 in Illkofen , † June 14, 1893 in Kreuth ) was a German Catholic theologian and philosopher.

Life

Frohschammer studied philosophy and theology at the University of Munich , was ordained a Catholic priest in 1847, completed his habilitation as a private lecturer in theology at the Munich University in 1850 and, after the publication of his contributions to the history of the church (1850), entered a work on the origin of human souls ( Munich 1854) and his open letter to Carl Vogt : Menschenseele und Physiologie (Munich 1855) transferred to the philosophical faculty as professor of philosophy in 1855.

Since his writings Introduction to Philosophy (Munich 1858), On the Task of Natural Philosophy (Munich 1861) and especially on Freedom of Science (Munich 1861) caused offense in Rome and Frohschammer refused to withdraw, he was suspended in 1863, but continued continued the struggle against ecclesiastical authority and the dogma of infallibility in a series of pamphlets without, however, joining the old Catholic movement , which he regarded as half-hearted .

As a philosopher, in his book, Christianity and Modern Science (Vienna 1868), which is directed against both dogma and materialism, he is polemical against both and again with a metaphysical attempt: The imagination as the basic principle of the world process (Munich 1877), which in a natural-philosophical way the unconscious assigns intelligently creative imagination the role of mediator between reason (spirit) and sensuality (nature).

In 1913, Frohschammerstrasse was named after him in the south-western part of Am Riesenfeld in the Milbertshofen-Am Hart district of Munich .
