Karl Ludwig Michelet
Karl Ludwig Michelet (actually Charles-Louis Michelet ; * December 4, 1801 in Berlin , † December 15, 1893 ibid) was a German philosopher .
Life
Michelet came from a Huguenot cloth merchant family established in Berlin. His father Louis Michelet (1775–1841) was a co-owner and later (thanks to his marriage to Karl Ludwig's mother Victoire Girard , 1777–1831) sole owner of the silk factory Girard & Michelet .
After attending the French grammar school , Michelet began studying law at the Alma Mater Berolinensis in 1819 . There he heard lectures from the lawyers Friedrich Carl von Savigny , Moritz August von Bethmann-Hollweg and Carl Wilhelm von Lancizolle , but soon also theology from Schleiermacher and logic and legal philosophy from Hegel , who became Michelet's model. In 1822 he passed the first state examination in law and then wrote his dissertation with Hegel, which he submitted in 1824. After passing the teaching examination, he taught at the French grammar school from 1825 to 1850. After his habilitation in 1826, he was appointed to an extraordinary professorship for philosophy at the Berlin University in 1829, which he filled until 1874.
It was particularly effective in spreading Hegelian philosophy. He reconstructed Hegel's lectures on the history of philosophy on the basis of lecture transcripts and Hegel's handwritten notes for printing, which belonged to (with Ludwig Boumann , Fritz Förster , Eduard Gans , Karl von Hegel , Leopold von Henning , Heinrich Gustav Hotho , Philipp Marheineke , Karl Rosenkranz and Johannes Schulze ) to the "Association of Friends of the Eternal", who published the complete edition of Hegel's works from 1832 to 1845 , and was editor of the Hegelian magazine Der Gedanke from 1860 to 1866 . His students included David Friedrich Strauss and August Cieszkowski , with whom he founded the Philosophical Society in Berlin in 1843 .
Michelet died at the age of 92. His grave is probably located in the French Cemetery I or the French Cemetery II in Berlin.
