inscribed were not present in Königsberg. When he lists 1,032 students in 1744,
he probably includes all the citizens of the university.- Compare Stavenhagen, Kant und Königsberg, p. 13. See Pisanski, Entwurf einer
preussischen Literärgeschichte, p. 472n. According to Pisanski, there were in August
1744 the following students at the university: 143 Königsbergers, 184 Germans,
119 Poles, 62 Lithuanians, 13 from Danzig, 21 from Elbing, 17 from Thorn, 31
"from the other Polish parts of Prussia," 58 from Curland, 62 from Liefland, 13
from Ingermannland, 4 Russians, 2 Cosacks, 17 Poles, 3 Hungarians, and 5 from
Siebenbürgen. - Hinrichs, Preußentum und Pietismus, p. 189.
- Erdmann, Knutzen, p. 6.
- Baczko, after Stuckenberg, Kant, p. 38. These shortcomings may have been more
a perceptual than a real problem. Though the very latest books were not available
immediately, most seem to have been in Königsberg after a few months. Göttin¬
gen, being closer to Leipzig, was in a better position, but not in a much better one. - Vorländer, Immanuel Kant, I, 48.
- Hippel, according to Vorländer, Immanuel Kant, I, p. 49.
- I shall call them from now on "full professors," "associate professors," and "lec¬
turers" {Magisters) respectively. Though it is somewhat misleading to equate these
positions with "professor," "associate professor," and "lecturer," it is less mis¬
leading than using "ordinary" and "extraordinary" professor, which would be the
literal translations. - This was the normal division in Protestant universities beginning with Melanchthon.
- Kant himself wrote a treatise on some of the problems this presented. See pp. 404-
407 of this volume. - Erdmann, Knutzen, p. 13.
- The titles of some of the books published by philosophy professors during that
period make this abundantly clear. See Pisanski, Entwurf einer preussischen
Literärgeschichte, pp. 5i9f. - Erdmann, Knutzen, p. 13 (compare Pisanski, Entwurf einer preussischen Literär¬
geschichte, pp. 523f). - Erdmann, Knutzen, p. 18.
- Pisanski, Entwurf einer preussischen Literärgeschichte, pp. 553f.
- Erdmann, Knutzen, p. 18, based on the Preface to the first edition of the Gründe
der Weltweisheit. - During this year Lysius began to receive stronger official support, and the relative
isolation of the Pietists at the university ended. The theological faculty was radi¬
cally transformed by a number of appointments. The king first appointed Georg
Friedrich Rogall as full professor of philosophy and associate professor of theology,
and then Abraham Wolff (1638-1731) as a teacher and preacher at the Collegium
Fridericianum. These two appointments were soon followed by the appointments
of Langhansen, Kypke, and Salthenius. Where there had been only one Pietist,
there were now four. Though they by no means constituted a majority, they had
become a significant minority. - Hinrichs, Preußentum und Pietismus, p. 247.
- These were not empty threats, as the case of Fischer shows.
