Kaspar Ebel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kaspar Ebel (also: Ebelius ; * December 11, 1595 in Gießen ; † March 10, 1664 ibid) was a German pedagogue, logician and metaphysician.

Life

The son of the councilor and magistrate Melchior Ebel and his wife Catharina Becker had already attended the trivial school in his hometown in 1599. With the guidance of a private teacher, he was able to obtain the princely pedagogy of his hometown in 1607, which was under the direction of Conrad Dietrich (1575–1639). After passing his final exams, he moved to the University of Giessen in 1612 . Here he first completed a basic course in philosophy. After he had acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy in 1615 , he took up theological studies and switched to the University of Wittenberg , where he attended lectures with Balthasar Meisner . Here, among others, Nicolaus Pompejus (1592–1659) suggested that he take over the rectorate of the grammar school in Stettin. However, due to his young age, he refused.

Instead, he traveled to the University of Leipzig , where he had been offered an adjunct position in the philosophical faculty, which he turned down, and moved on to the University of Jena in 1618 . Here he held philosophical lectures and participated as a present tense in several philosophical disputations. The Jena professor of logic and metaphysics Michael Wolf (1584–1623) apparently had a major influence during his one and a half year stay . In 1619 he returned home via the University of Erfurt . However, he felt the desire to continue his studies and went to the University of Altdorf that same year . On May 18, 1625 he became rector of the Protestant city school in Worms . 1628 Hessian Landgraf called him George II of Hesse-Darmstadt , succeeding Rudolph Goclenius , the professor of logic at the University of Marburg .

He took up this position in 1629 and was also professor of metaphysics in 1630. In Marburg he experienced the effects of the Thirty Years War . The plague, famine and sieges also hindered the university's teaching activities during that time. Ebel also took over the office of university librarian in Marburg in 1646. Since the University of Marburg was relocated to Gießen in 1650, the Landgrave appointed him to be the overseer of the Gießen Pedagogy. Ebel also took part in the organizational tasks of the universities. He was dean of the philosophical faculty eight times in 1634, 1637, 1641, 1644, 1648, 1650, 1654, 1658 and rector of the universities in 1636, 1647, 1652 and 1660 . In 1661 Ebel fell ill and could no longer carry out his duties. Struggling with podagra, catarrh and rotlauf for some time, he died after a long illness. His body was buried on March 16, 1664 in the Giessen churchyard.
