Johann Heinrich Abicht
Johann Heinrich Abicht (born May 4, 1762 in Volkstedt (today a part of Rudolstadt ), † April 28, 1816 in Wilna ) was a German philosopher whose philosophy was clearly influenced by Kant , later by Karl Leonhard Reinhold . His son was the medic Adolf Abicht .
Life
Johann Heinrich Abicht attended grammar school in Rudolstadt and from 1781 the University of Erlangen . In 1786 he became a doctor of philosophy there, in 1790 an adjunct at the philosophy faculty there and in 1796 a full professor of philosophy. He taught logic , metaphysics , psychology , ethics , natural law and pedagogy . In 1796 he won a prize at the Royal Academy in Berlin for his work “On the Advances in Metaphysics since Leibnitz's and Wolff's Times”.
Due to his scientific achievements and his good reputation as a scientist and educator, he was appointed to the newly established Vilnius University in 1804 , where he gave lectures on logic and metaphysics. Both the university and the curator refused to grant his request to give his lectures in German, so he had to give them in Latin.
In the years 1804 to 1806 he also participated in the development of the university statutes. In the following years he tried again and again to increase the number of hours for his subject and led, in some cases, polemical disputes with the then rector Jan Śniadecki .
