Carl Friedrich Goeschel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carl Friedrich Göschel, lithograph by Carl Wildt . The handwritten text reads: “This perishable should attract the incorruptible. The body is not the bearer of the soul, but the soul is the energy of the body, which lifts and carries it, then - leaves, and again completely appropriates and penetrates by means of the spirit, which again lifts and carries the soul and never leaves, for she follows him everywhere. Carl Friedrich Göschel. "

Carl Friedrich Göschel (born October 7, 1781 in Langensalza , † September 22, 1861 in Naumburg (Saale) ) was a Prussian church lawyer and philosophical-theological writer of the Hegelian school .

Live and act

Göschel studied law in Leipzig and from 1819 worked as a colleague and probably also like fellow Ernst Ludwig von Gerlachs at the Naumburg Higher Regional Court. There he had contacts with pietistic circles who shaped him permanently. In 1834 he was appointed to the Prussian Ministry of Justice in Berlin, where he worked particularly in church matters. He was later appointed President of the Consistory of the Church Province of Saxony . Until his death he worked for the Protestant regional church in the denominational Lutheran sense, for example as chairman of the Lutheran Central Association. Personally an opponent of the separation of the Lutheran congregations from the Uniate regional church, he paved the way for the state recognition of the old Lutherans in Prussia in 1845. On the other hand, he operated the suppression of the movement of the friends of light with such severity that he was forced to resign in the course of the March events in 1848 .

Although neither theologian nor the philosopher by profession and not personally known to Hegel, Göschel became important for determining the relationship between the Hegelian system and the doctrine of the Church. His anonymously published work About Goethe's Faust and its continuation (Leipzig 1824) already proved his fondness for Hegel. The aphorisms about ignorance and absolute knowledge (Berlin 1829) sought to show the correspondence between Hegel's philosophy and Christian belief. Hegel himself wrote an appreciative review that made Göschel a spokesman for the old Hegelians for several years .

After Hegel's death, Goeschel formed the school's extreme right in the scriptures:

  • The monism of thought (Naumburg 1832);
  • Hegel and his time, with regard to Goethe (Berlin 1832);
  • From Dante Alighieri's Divine Comedy (Naumburg 1834). And
  • Conversations on the description of Goethean poetry and thinking (Schleusingen 1834–38, 3 vols.),

which is supposed to prove that Goethe preached the Gospel in his language.

For personal immortality he vigorously took sides in the scriptures:

  • From the evidence for the immortality of the human soul (Berlin 1835) and
  • The sevenfold Easter question (Berlin 1836).

Religious tendencies also permeate his juridical writings:

  • Scattered sheets of paper from the hand and auxiliary files of a lawyer . (Erfurt and Schleusing. 1835–42, 3 vols.);
  • The oath according to its principle, concept and usage (Berlin 1837) and
  • The particular right in relation to common law and the legal pantheism (Berlins. 1837).

His contributions to the speculative philosophy of God, man and God-man (Berlin 1838) are directed against David Friedrich Strauss .

Of his other writings the following should also be emphasized:

  • Chronicle of the city of Langensalza (Langensalza 1818–42, 3 vols.)
  • Secular memories of the year 1848 (Magdeburg 1848)
  • Dante Alighieri's Easter celebration in the twin stars (Hall 1849)
  • The concord formula according to its history, doctrine and ecclesiastical significance (Leipzig 1858) and
  • Lectures and studies on Dante (Berlin 1863).
