Friedrich Ludwig Weidig belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.
The record lists Friedrich Ludwig Weidig as German theologian (1791–1837).
Friedrich Ludwig Weidig was born at Langgöns in 1791. His recorded nationality is Grand Duchy of Hesse. He studied at University of Giessen.
Enlightenment argument moved philosophy into public life: it was now about government, rights and religion as much as metaphysics.
Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.
That the work was done from Grand Duchy of Hesse matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Friedrich Ludwig Weidig died in 1837, aged 46. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
