Julius Schaller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Schaller (born July 13, 1810 in Magdeburg , † June 21, 1868 in Carlsfeld near Brehna ) was a German professor of philosophy and writer. He is counted among the ancient Hegelians .

Life

Schaller was the son of a preacher in Magdeburg. He graduated in Magdeburg Domgymnasium and studied from 1819 in Halle (Saale) , first theology , but switched to philosophy . In 1834 he became a lecturer in philosophy at the University of Halle , from 1838 he held an extraordinary and from 1861 a full professorship for philosophy. A year before his death he fell ill with a "mental illness". He died of pneumonia .

Schaller's philosophical orientation is counted among Hegelianism , which he had defended against various attacks. He took "a middle position between the left and right of the Hegelian school", but "with rare mastery he [it] knew how to let the unity of his worldview shine through on various objects without revealing the form of the system". From the 1850s onwards, his journalism took on a development in which “there are hardly any traces of the kind of philosophizing peculiar to the Hegelian system”.

Schaller's two earliest works, The Philosophy of Our Time (1837) and The Historical Christ and Philosophy (1838) were devoted to discussions with David Friedrich Strauss , later he concentrated on controversies with the materialists Carl Vogt and Jakob Moleschott , to whom some works from the 1850s Years are dedicated. From 1850 he published the popular science magazine Weltall together with Christian Gottfried Giebel .
