Johann Joachim Lange is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Johann Joachim Lange as German philosopher and theologian.
Johann Joachim Lange was born at Gardelegen in 1670. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
This was the century in which philosophy separated itself from theology and began to ask what could be known with certainty.
His academic posts were held at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from Germany matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Johann Joachim Lange died in 1744, aged 74. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
