Overview
Volumes

Die Reihe Werkprofile versammelt textnahe Interpretationen und kommentierte Editionen von umfassenden Werken einzelner Philosophen, Wissenschaftler und Literaten des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts. Im Fokus stehen Autoren, die in den Diskussionen ihrer Zeit Innovationen angeregt oder Synthesen geleistet haben, deren Bedeutung die Forschung bislang nicht hinreichend wahrgenommen hat. Bei den in der Reihe publizierten kommentierten Ausgaben und begleitenden Analysebänden geht es deshalb um eine genaue Rekonstruktion der internen Strukturen eines Œuvres und der Diskussion seiner theoretischen Leistungen im Kontext des jeweiligen zeitgenössischen Problemhorizontes. In der doppelten Perspektive eines internen wie externen Blicks werden neue sachliche Probleme aufgedeckt und die Genese wie die Produktivität von Theoriezusammenhängen der Aufklärung und Spätaufklärung erhellt. Die Reihe bildet so eine neue Grundlage für die Erschließung der intellektuellen Kultur des 17. und 18. Jahrhunderts.

Carl Christian Erhart Schmid (1761–1812)

Spätaufklärung im Spannungsfeld zwischen Leibniz und Kant

Marion Heinz, Gideon Stiening

Volume 24 in this series

The extensive oeuvre of Carl Christian Erhart Schmid (1761–1812) has been largely overlooked in research on the history of philosophy, with the exception of his teachings on intelligible fatalism. This volume presents analyses and interpretations of not just his moral philosophy but also the unknown parts of his philosophical system: aesthetics, logic, metaphysics, legal doctrine and theology, anthropology, and physiology.

Christoph Meiners (1747–1810) was one of the most productive academic, popular-philosophical and journalistic authors of the late Enlightenment. His oeuvre encompasses works on psychology and anthropology, on historiography, ethics, and political theory.

Christoph Meiners (1747–1810) was one of the most unusual members of Göttingen University, which he belonged to from 1767 to 1810 as a student and professor. What made his work unusual was that, for example, he spent more than 40 years publishing in all fields of philosophy and historiography, in many areas of the popular philosophy of the time, and as a travel author.

As soon as it was published, the correspondence between Jakob Mauvillon (1743–1794) and Ludwig August Unzer (1748–1774), Ueber den Werth einiger Deutschen Dichter [On the Value of Some German Poets], unleashed a storm of outrage. While the authors critically dissect and dismantle Gellert’s entire poetic oeuvre in the first part, in the second part they carry out a ranking of German poets.

This volume contains the first new edition and a German translation of the master’s thesis that Christian Garve wrote in Halle. Neglected in the literature thus far and missing from Garve’s collected works, this text provides a systematic examination of the concept of probability in the fields of logic, metaphysics, and the sciences. Garve thus took leave of school philosophy as early as in 1766.

He was active in all the sub-areas of academic philosophy and also in the context of literary and popular philosophical discourse.

Es gehört zu den wirksamsten Dogmen der Aufklärungsforschung, dass die deutschsprachige Philosophie keine materialistische Theorie ausgebildet habe Die Texte Michael Hißmanns (1752–1784) zeigen dagegen, dass sich im Kontext der Göttinger empiristischen Schule im späten 18. Jahrhundert durchaus ein ambitionierter Materialismus entwickelte. Hißmann hat seine materialistische Grundlagentheorie auf vielerlei Feldern der Philosophie umzusetzen gesucht; so in der Psychologie, Anthropologie, praktischen Philosophie, in den Geschichtswissenschaften, der Sprachphilosophie und Poetik. Vor dem grundsätzlich materialismuskritischen Hintergrund der deutschen Spätaufklärung wirkt diese affirmative Aufnahme und systematische Ausarbeitung eines Materialismus durch Michael Hißmann besonders auffällig, und sie wurde daher von vielen Zeitgenossen argwöhnisch begleitet. Dieser Band versammelt erstmalig Texte Michael Hißmanns aus allen – z. T. schwer zugängigen – Werkbereichen, so den popularphilosophischen „Briefen über Gegenstände der Philosophie“ sowie eine vollständige Präsentation seines Hauptwerkes „Psychologische Versuche“ von 1777. Darüber hinaus werden Studien und Aufsätze zum Naturrecht, zur Philosophiegeschichte und Geschichtsphilosophie sowie zur Religionsphilosophie und Ästhetik vorgestellt und kommentiert, die ein facettenreiches Bild des Materialismus in der deutschen Aufklärung bieten.

Michael Hißmann (1752-1784)

Ein materialistischer Philosoph der deutschen Aufklärung

Heiner F. Klemme, Gideon Stiening, Falk Wunderlich

Volume 2 in this series

More Cite

Michael Hißmann gehört zu den großen Unbekannten der deutschsprachigen Spätaufklärung in den 1770er und 1780er Jahren. Diese Position gründet vor allem in der materialistischen Konzeption, die der Philosoph im Kontext der Göttinger empiristischen Schule entwarf. Der seit der Mitte 18. Jahrhundert europaweit intensiv diskutierte Materialismus konnte sich in der deutschsprachigen Philosophie der Spätaufklärung schwerer durchsetzen als etwa in England oder Frankreich, da sich in ihr der Einfluss des Leibnizschen und Wolffschen Rationalismus als dominierend erwies. Vor diesem materialismuskritischen Hintergrund wird die affirmative Aufnahme und systematische Ausarbeitung eines Materialismus durch Michael Hißmann besonders auffällig, und sie wurde daher von vielen Zeitgenossen argwöhnisch begleitet. Die Forschung hat sich bisher weder mit der spezifischen Rezeption des Materialismus durch Michael Hißmann noch gar mit dessen eigener materialistischer Philosophie befasst. Auf den Feldern der Psychologie, der Anthropologie, der Metaphysik, der praktischen Philosophie, der Geschichtswissenschaften und Poetik suchte der Göttinger Philosoph seine materialistische Grundlagentheorie zu realisieren.

Aufklärung zwischen Christian Wolff und David Hume

Johann Georg Sulzer gehörte zu den prägenden Gestalten der europäischen Aufklärung in den 1750er und 1760er Jahren, sowohl in der Philosophie als auch in einer Reihe von Einzelwissenschaften - wie der Mathematik und der Pädagogik - sowie im Kontext literarischer und ästhetischer Diskurse. Federführend nahm er an den wichtigen Debatten, Kontroversen und Forschungsentwicklungen teil, die etwa in Berlin, in Leipzig oder in Paris die Aufklärung beschäftigte. Der vorliegende Band versammelt Studien von Philosophen, Literaturwissenschaftlern und Wissenschaftshistorikern zu allen Werkbereichen Sulzers, insbesondere zur lange Zeit vernachlässigten Erkenntnistheorie und Psychologie. Zugleich wird seine bislang weitgehend unbekannte praktische Philosophie diskutiert. Darüber hinaus werden auch Sulzers Sprach- und Kunsttheorie sowie seine Enzyklopädistik analysiert.
