Draft:Georg Andreas Gabler

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Andreas Gabler (30 July 1786 – 13 September 1853) was a German philosopher.

Life

[edit]

Born in 1786 in Altdorf near Nuremberg, he studied philosophy and law at the University of Altdorf. From 1804 to 1807 he studied at the University of Jena, where he was Hegel's pupil. In 1811, he was a teacher at the Gymnasium in Ansbach and later in Bayreuth,[1] where he graduated from high school in 1826 under his rectorate Max Stirner.[2] In 1835, Gabler was appointed as Hegel's successor at the University of Berlin.[3] As one of his disciples, he sought to make the Hegelian system more understandable through his textbook Die Propädeutik der Philosophie (1827). He also attempted to prove in his De verae philosophiae erga religionem Christianam pietate (1836) the conformity of Hegelian philosophy with Christian Religion.

He wrote a detailed critique against Friedrich Adolf Trendelenburg's attacks on Hegel in his work: Die Hegelsche Philosophie: Beiträge zu ihrer richtigeren Beurtheilung und Würdigung (Berlin 1843, Vol. 1).

Georg Andreas Gabler died on 1853 at the age of 67 in Teplitz. He was buried in the cemetery of Dorotheenstadt and Friedrichswerder's municipalities on Chausseestraße in Berlin. The tomb has not survived.[4]
