Simon Gabriel Suckow

Life

Simon Gabriel Suckow was the son of the pastor at the Schwerin Cathedral (Johann) Daniel Suckow († 1726). His brother was the naturalist and university professor Lorenz Johann Daniel Suckow .

Suckow enrolled on May 16, 1737 at the University of Rostock and studied philosophy and theology there, as well as at the University of Jena . After completing his studies, he accompanied his compatriot Joachim Ehrenfried Pfeiffer to the University of Erlangen , who was called there to attend the inauguration ceremony. During his stay he acquired his master's degree and gave theological lectures, but not with the intention of staying in Erlangen, rather he wanted to return to Jena. The lectures he gave as a Wolffian , however, were received with such great applause that he stayed at the University of Erlangen. In 1745 he was appointed associate professor and in 1752 full professor of philosophy . In 1765 he also took over the professorship for mathematics and physics , but in 1770 resigned the professorship for logic and metaphysics .

Simon Gabriel Suckow was in an intensive correspondence with Immanuel Kant .

He turned down the call to the University of Marburg and the University of St. Petersburg as general decipherer. When he wanted to follow the call of the University of Jena, he was given the character of a Privy Councilor with a salary bonus.

In the period from 1753 to 1770 he was Vice Rector at the University of Erlangen five times .
