Jakob Frohschammer

German philosopher (1821–1893)

Jakob Frohschammer is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Jakob Frohschammer as German philosopher (1821–1893).

Jakob Frohschammer was born at Barbing in 1821. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria. He studied at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and Ducal Georgianum.

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

His academic posts were held at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

The recorded fields of work are philosophy and theology.

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from Kingdom of Bavaria matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Jakob Frohschammer died in 1893, aged 72. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
