Johann Friedrich Stiebritz

Johann Friedrich Stiebritz (born August 7, 1707 in Halle (Saale) , † December 12, 1772 there ) was a German philosopher .

Life

The son of the craftsman Gottfried Stiebritz was taught by private tutors until he was seven and then attended the orphanage school in Halle until he was sixteen. In 1723 he moved to the University of Halle , where he attended lectures by Joachim Justus Breithaupt , Johann Jakob Rambach , Paul Anton and Joachim Lange . He was taught the oriental languages by Christian Benedikt Michaelis and Siegmund Jakob Baumgarten . After he had defended the pamphlet de accommodatione Sacrae ad Captum vulgi erroneum under Rambach in 1729 , he moved to the University of Jena at Easter of the same year . His teachers here were Georg Erhard Hamberger (1697–1755), Johann Jacob Syrbius (1674–1738) and Johann Jakob Lehmann (1683–1740). Gottlieb Stolle (1673–1744) made him familiar with extensive literature and his teachers advised him to give lectures himself and to accept his master's degree .

After he had defended the polemic de methodo studii ebraici under Magister Löwe , he was offered a position as court master. He accepted the position and went to Halle, where he visited his teachers at the time and other professors in the oriental languages. In 1730 he received his master's degree from Johann Joachim Lange with the writing de naturalibus Lutheri reformatoris dotibus . After a few days, again under his chairmanship, he completed the disputation de charismatis et metris beati Doctri's Martin Lutheri ad typum Pauli et Timothei ex 2 Timoth. 1. 7. 8. delineatis, et ex reformationis historia illustratis . In September 1730 he began to teach philosophy and the oriental languages ​​publicly, but he lacked an audience. So it was important to him to be promoted to a position in his hometown.

On September 29, 1731 he followed his patron Rambach to the University of Giessen . Here he held public lectures and sermons and made the decision to embark on an academic career. For this he earned a disputation on 1 Corinthians 15, 28, the university lector permission Magister legens. In Giessen he also became acquainted with Johann Melchior Verdries (1679–1735), who made him familiar with the writings of Christian Wolff and whose philosophy he adopted in his lectures. Around Easter 1733 he returned to his hometown and gave these lectures there too. However, Wolff's philosophy had its opponents in Halle, who also opposed Stiebritz's professional career.

Nevertheless, Stiebritz managed to become an adjunct at the philosophical faculty in 1735. After he had participated in the founding of the "Testing Society" in 1737, he became an associate professor of philosophy on October 11, 1738 . On December 20, 1738 he became a full professor of philosophy and, after Gasser died, in 1746 he was appointed professor of economics and cameralistics . In 1754 he became eighth man of the market church Our Dear Women , at the same time supervisor of the Marienbibliothek and 1766 Pfänner in Halle. Stiebritz also took part in the organizational tasks of the University of Halle and was prorector of the Alma Mater in 1757/58 and 1766/67 .

family

On June 14, 1735 he married Dorothea Christina († November 10, 1741 in Halle), the eldest daughter of the pastor of Schloßvippach Balthasar Bärwolf. The later Prussian lieutenant Johann Friedrich (born July 11, 1736 in Halle) is known from this marriage. His second marriage was on October 1, 1742 with Johanna Elisabeth (* August 5, 1699 in Halle; † January 14, 1771 in Halle), the daughter of the royal Prussian consistorial councilor and first pastor of Halle Johann Georg Franck . He concluded his third marriage on October 27, 1771 with Johanna Dorothea (née Kaiser, † July 22, 1772), the widow of Professor Johann Joachim Lange.
