Johann Gottfried Hasse (* 1759 in Weimar ; † April 12, 1806 in Königsberg (Prussia) ) was a German Protestant theologian and orientalist .
biography
Hasse was the son of a poor family. Charitable foundations made his education possible. After attending grammar school in Weimar, he studied at the University of Jena . There he became an adjunct at the philosophical faculty after graduating in 1784 . Through his publications in the field of biblical research, he had already achieved a certain level of awareness when he was appointed professor for oriental languages at the Albertus University in Königsberg in 1786 . In 1788 he became a full professor of theology and a little later consistorial councilor. In 1790 he also took over the rectorate of the Kneiphöfisches Gymnasium .
He succeeded Immanuel Kant in the academic senate when he retired from academic life in 1801. During the last three years of the life of the great philosophers, Hasse was a regular guest in his house. As one of the first alongside Ludwig Ernst von Borowski , Reinhold Bernhard Jachmann , Ehregott Andreas Wasianski and Friedrich Theodor Rink , he published a short biography of Kant in 1804. In his linguistics and poetics he oriented himself on the theories of Johann Gottfried Herder . In addition to theological studies, he wrote textbooks on the oriental and classical languages . He found little recognition for his writings on history and antiquity, in which he represented untenable views.
He undertook his journey home in 1805, among other things in the hope of finding a job there. Therefore, he turned down a call to the University of Dorpat . However, he was unsuccessful and died soon after his return in 1806 in Königsberg.
