Karl Joseph Hieronymus Windischmann
Karl Joseph Hieronymus Windischmann (born August 24, 1775 in Mainz , † April 23, 1839 in Bonn ) was a doctor and philosopher.
Life
Born and raised in Mainz, Windischmann studied philosophy there from 1787. Due to the French invasion , he had to change to the University of Würzburg in 1792, where he expanded his studies to include medicine in 1794 and became acquainted with the physician and natural philosopher Andreas Röschlaub . He received his doctorate in Mainz in 1796. After spending a year in Vienna, he returned to Mainz in 1797 to practice there. In 1801 he went to Aschaffenburg and became court medicus at the court of Elector Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal . In 1803 he was appointed professor of philosophy and universal history at the Lyceum in Aschaffenburg. Soon after, he received the title of Royal Medical Councilor. In 1811 he was also appointed court librarian.
In 1818 he was appointed to the newly founded University of Bonn , where he not only taught history and philosophy, but also read pathology and the history of medicine as a professor in the medical faculty. Windischmann allowed himself to be drawn into the dispute over " Hermesianism " and prepared an expert opinion against Georg Hermes , which led to the rejection of "Hermesianism". Windischmann published a number of writings, most recently the "Philosophical Lectures" of his late friend Friedrich Schlegel , and as a member of the Würzburg circle around Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling represented a link between romantic natural philosophy and medicine . In 1818 he also became a member of the Leopoldina . Windischmann died in Bonn in 1839.
His son Karl-Joseph Windischmann was born in Aschaffenburg in 1807 and became a university professor of anatomy in Leuven . Karl-Joseph's younger brother was the theologian and philologist Friedrich Windischmann (1811–1861).
