Johannes Rehmke

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johannes Rehmke (born February 1, 1848 in Hainholz near Elmshorn , † December 23, 1930 in Marburg ) was a German philosopher and university professor.

Life

Johannes Rehmke was the second son of the elementary school teacher Hans Hinrich Rehmke and his wife Margarete, geb. Engelbrecht. After first lessons with his father, he attended the Rector's School in Uetersen and then the Christianeum High School in Altona, where u. a. Helmuth von Moltke (* 1848) was his classmate. In 1867 he went to study in Kiel , and one year later to Zurich to Alois Emanuel Biedermann . Rehmke received his doctorate in Zurich in 1873 with the work of Hartmann 's Unconscious, critically examined in terms of logic . His habilitation took place in Berlin in 1884 with the treatise The world as perception and concept .

Rehmke received an extraordinary professorship at the University of Greifswald in 1885 , and in 1887 he was appointed full professor there. In 1898 he was the rector of the university. With the "Greifswald objectivism" he represented, Rehmke set himself apart from the then dominant school of neo-Kantianism. GE Moore, one of the founders of Analytical Philosophy, was influenced by him.

After his forced retirement in 1921, he gave lectures in Marburg. Among his most important students were the Bulgarian philosopher Dimitri Michaltschew , the Romanian philosopher Mircea George Florian , the philosophers Johannes Erich Heyde and Sophus Hochfeld, and the Protestant theologian Friedrich Karl Schumann .

The publicist and women's rights activist Helene Stöcker wrote about a lecture she gave in Greifswald on the subject of women's emancipation: “In the conservative Pomerania, in Greifswald, the philosopher Professor Johannes Rehmke was fortunately so filled with sympathy for the views I represented that he followed at the end of the meeting, called on those present to an enthusiastic cheer for me. "

In his birthplace Elmshorn , a street is named after Rehmke.
