Why Is Christian Gottfried Schütz Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Christian Gottfried Schütz was a German classical scholar and humanist, known for his contributions in philosophy and philology, and for his work as an academic and literary editor and publisher. Life Christian Gottfried Schütz was the eldest of eight recorded children born to the Protestant minister Gottfried Schütz and his wife, in the village of Dederstädt, a couple of hours walk to the south of Eisleben, in an area administered, under a slightly convoluted arrangement by Saxony. Shortly after his birth his father was appointed to a senior preaching position in nearby Aschersleben, to where the family relocated, and it was here that the boy received his early schooling. Later he attended the Latin orphanage school in Halle before moving on in 1765 to the Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg where he was taught Theology by Johann Jakob Semler, who talent spotted him and set him on his life's career as an academic. After he had received his Master of Philosophy degree, awarded on 21 March 1768, he took a post teaching mathematics at the Knights' Academy at Brandenburg an der Havel. The next year he was appointed an inspector of Theology Seminaries in Halle, a position that opened the way for him to become a visiting professor in Philosophy at the university in 1775 and a full professor in 1777.
