Life

Theodor Christoph Ursinus was the son of the pastor Polycarp Andreas Ursinus († 1713) and his wife Marie Katharina. After the early death of his parents in 1713, he was sent to school in Buttstädt , where he was made particularly familiar with the Latin, Greek and Hebrew languages ​​under Vice Rector Ritter and Rector Bischoff. In 1720 he moved to the University of Jena , where he heard the philosophical lectures by Johann Georg Walch and Johann Andreas Danz , which introduced him to the principles of philosophy. He was introduced to philology with Johann Reinhard Rus (1679–1738) , with Johann Jacob Syrbius (1674–1738) he received an insight into metaphysics and logic , with Johann Jacob Lehmann (1683–1740) and with Johann Bernhard Wiedeburg (1687–1738) 1766) he studied mathematics .

Gottlieb Stolle (1673–1744) and Burkhard Gotthelf Struve (1671–1738) made history and politics better known to him; in the theory of nature he had followed the statements of Hermann Friedrich Teichmeyer (1685–1744) and Johann Friedrich Wucherer (1682–1737) and he was taught geography by Martin Schmeitzel . So he could assess the training on the higher faculties, he attended the theology lectures by Johann Franz Buddeus , the legal lectures by Kaspar Achatius Beck (1685-1733) and the medical lectures at Teichmeyer. In 1726 he acquired the academic degree of a master's degree in philosophy and completed his habilitation in the same year with the dissertation de usu et abusu studii philosophici in order to be able to give lectures at the university.

In 1732 he was appointed associate professor of philosophy at the University of Halle and took up this position on April 15th. On August 11, 1733 he became a full professor of philosophy. Although he was only able to attract a few students with his lectures in Jena and Halle, he continued to pursue medical studies with Johann Heinrich Schultze and Johann Juncker from 1741 , which he completed on October 20, 1746 with a doctorate in medicine. After he had been Vice Rector of the Alma Mater in 1747/48 , he died of a hot fever. At the beginning of May 1733 he had married Anna Elisabeth (née Fischer), the widow of the associate professor of anatomy in Halle, Johann Friedrich Becker († 1730).
