Jakob Salat (born August 22, 1766 in Abtsgmünd , † February 11, 1851 in Landshut ) was a Catholic theologian and philosopher .

biography

After attending grammar school in Ellwangen and studying theology, among others with Johann Michael Sailer , in Dillingen , he was ordained a priest in 1790. Salad then held parish positions at Horn Castle (near Leinzell ), in Zusamzell , Haberskirchen and Arnbach until 1801 . He also taught temporarily at the Lyzeum in Munich before he found his position at the University of Landshut , where he was professor of philosophy from 1807 until his retirement in 1826 , but as a private scholar after the university moved to Munich.

Salat was a proponent of consistently enlightened thinking. Like his close friend Johann Gottfried Pahl , whom he met in Horn, he resolutely opposed any form of obscurantism . During his pastoral work he was suspected of membership in the Order of Illuminati . During his work at the university, as a supporter of Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi's philosophy and an opponent of Friedrich Wilhelm Schelling, he repeatedly came into conflict with his colleagues.
