Johann Karl Friedrich Rosenkranz (born April 23, 1805 in Magdeburg , † June 14, 1879 in Königsberg i. Pr. ) Was a German philosopher. He was a student of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel .

Life

He was the son of the tax officer Johann-Heinrich Rosenkranz (1757-1830) and his wife Marie-Katharine, née. Gruson (1770-1824). After attending the Cantor School and the Old Town School, he switched to the pedagogy of the monastery of Our Dear Women in 1818 , where he graduated from high school in 1824 . Rosenkranz studied Protestant theology and philosophy at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin , the Friedrichs-Universität Halle and the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In Halle he received his doctorate in 1828 and there he completed his habilitation in the same year with a thesis on Baruch de Spinoza . Around 1830 he belonged with Albrecht Ritschl , Arnold Ruge , Hermann Friedrich Wilhelm Hinrichs , Heinrich Leo and Ernst Theodor Echtermeyer to the old Hegelian society of the unlaid egg .

In the dispute between conservative-theist, old-liberal and liberal-atheist Young Hegelians, he took a middle position. In 1831 he received an associate's post in Halle . Two years later he followed Johann Friedrich Herbart to the chair at the Albertus University in Königsberg . Between 1845 and 1863 he was rector several times . He was buried in the scholarly cemetery (Königsberg) .

Rosenkranz wrote a total of 250 publications and 65 books on a wide variety of humanities . An overall presentation by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe emerged from his lectures . Rosenkranz is the only contemporary Hegel biographer. He wrote the first German-language biography about the French philosopher and encyclopaedist Denis Diderot . With his work Psychology or the Science of the Subjective Mind from 1837 he influenced Sören Kierkegaard ( The Concept Fear ). He is also considered to be the first to write an aesthetic of the ugly.
