Norbert Hinske

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert Hinske (born January 24, 1931 in Berlin ) is a German historian of philosophy , university professor and Kant specialist.

Life

Hinske studied philosophy, Catholic theology and classical philology at the Philosophical-Theological University of Sankt Georgen , the Berchmanskolleg and the universities of Munich , Freiburg and Berlin .

In 1952 he received a licentiate in philosophy at the Berchmannskolleg. In 1955 Hinske received his doctorate in Freiburg . In 1966 he received his habilitation from the Philosophical Faculty of the Free University of Berlin . In 1969 he was appointed Scientific Councilor and Professor there. In 1970 he was appointed full professor of philosophy at the newly established dual university Trier-Kaiserslautern (since 1975 University of Trier ). From 1973 to 1975 he was managing director of the narrow circle of the General Society for Philosophy in Germany, from 1982 to 1986 he was a member of the board of the German Society for Research in the Eighteenth Century. In the summer semester from 1988 to 1992 Hinske was a member of the Presidium of the German University Association . In 1991 he held a visiting professorship in Jena .

Norbert Hinske has dealt in particular with the German philosophy of the 18th century. In addition to Immanuel Kant and Moses Mendelssohn in particular, he is also interested in Christian Wolff , Johann Heinrich Lambert and Hermann Samuel Reimarus .

When at the beginning of 2020 in Trier the renaming of the Bischof-Stein-Platz was demanded because this bishop had allegedly covered up abuse of children and young people during his term of office by priests of the diocese, Norbert Hinske turned in a letter to the editor against what he believed to be an exaggerated practice the renaming of streets and squares. His comparison, which was perceived as inappropriately polemical, met with violent reactions that the Konrad-Adenauer-Brücke in Trier would soon be renamed if it emerged that Adenauer had fertilized his roses with preparations that are no longer permitted.

Awards and memberships

On June 5, 2000 he was awarded an honorary doctorate from the Trier Theological Faculty . Since 2009 he has been a member of the Academy of Charitable Sciences in Erfurt . He is also a full member of the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei and an honorary member of the Japanese Kant Society.

Norbert Hinske has been a member of the AfD since February 2019. This then put him on the "place of honor" (last place) on their list of candidates for the Trier city council. Hinske was initially a member of the SPD and joined the CDU in 1969. He resigned from this in December 2018.
