Jakob Degen also Jakob Schegk also Johann Jacob Brucker Schegk also Jakob Scheckius (born June 6, 1511 in Schorndorf ; † May 9, 1587 in Tübingen ) was a German lawyer , physician , philosopher and, alongside Clemens Timpler, one of the most important representatives of Protestant neo-scholasticism .

Life

After enrolling in Tübingen in 1528, he became a master of philosophy in 1529 and a doctor of medicine in 1539. In 1540 Degen married Corona Vogler and in 1543 he became a professor of medicine. Although he did not become a philosophy professor, he held lectures in medicine and philosophy. Despite his blindness in 1577, he continued teaching. His two sons died early (David Schegk 1576, Jakob Bernhard Schegk 1581).

He was attacked by the philosopher Simon Simonius - also Amadeus Curtius Ticinensis - in a pamphlet from 1566 because of his stance on the theory of ubiquity .

One of his students was Nicolaus Taurellus and he was a patron of the philosopher Hieronymus Wolf .

Ten years later, his portrait, painted in 1578, gave Erhard Cellius the idea of ​​establishing a university portrait collection , which is now called the Tübingen Professors Gallery.

The artist Jost Amman created a woodcut portrait of him in 1581.
