Life

Schuppe studied from 1854 to 1857 in Breslau, Bonn and Berlin initially law, later Catholic theology and then classical philology. Finally he received his doctorate in Berlin in 1860 as a doctor of philosophy and law with De anacoluthis Ciceronianis maxime in libris de officiis scriptis et Tusculanis disputationibus , a monograph on Ciceronian rhetoric. After completing his training, he worked as a grammar school teacher in Berlin, Breslau, Neisse, Gleiwitz and Beuthen from 1861. On March 30, 1869, he married Adelheid, nee Dierschke.

On the basis of his book The Human Thought , published in 1870 , he was finally promoted by Hermann Lotze , who in turn was professor of philosophy and introduced the concept of value into the philosophical discussion.

This was followed by a call to the University of Greifswald as a professor of philosophy in 1873 . In 1884 he was rector of the university. He was also a member of the Society of Sciences in Christiania . He died three years after Schuppe retired in 1910.

Schuppe is considered to be the founder of the philosophy of immanence , which he developed against the background of Edmund Husserl's phenomenology .
