Life and work

Mixing finished his studies in Berlin in 1900 with a dissertation on the philosophical foundation of positivism in the writings of D' Alembert and Turgot. Due to a prize essay in the same year provided by the Prussian Academy of Sciences in 1904, he handed his first research results to a story of an autobiography in 1905 and was awarded the grand prize. 1907 appeared as a greatly expanded version of the first part of the first volume of his still regarded as the standard work comprehensive nearly 4000 printed pages history of autobiography, where he worked until his death in 1965, and their fourth and last volume was published posthumously in 1969, a work which is eagerly discussed in the literature. Misch Already teacher and father-in Dilthey had pointed out the philosophical " Unschätzbarkeit " of autobiographies because they were likely " just the general traits of the ages " to work out the history of mankind. The Dilthey 's concept of philosophy as " self-reflection of life" according to the mixing autobiography a profound source philosophy of historical research. His magnum opus wants to capture the seemingly illimitable variety of autobiographical writings in the universal-historical context of the development of the human mind and personality of the consciousness of mankind.

" Georg Misch was a philosopher and wanted it to be. " Programmatically, this has his student Josef König explained in a lecture on the first anniversary premix before the Göttingen Academy of Sciences because he was especially famous as a historian of the autobiography. 1905 mixing had habilitated in Dilthey in Berlin.

From 1927 to 1934 he held four times, the lecture logic and an introduction to the theory of knowledge. Mixing tried thus creating linguistic expression conduct both a live philosophical foundations of logic as well as a field extension of logic to the way a logical genesis of phenomena from the preverbal and ( everyday ). His design of a comprehensive theory of knowledge reflects the discussion at that time field between Dilthey 's philosophy of life, Heidegger's fundamental ontology and phenomenology of Husserl contrary, the mixing has also shown in his published in 1930 and after 1933 " to higher instruction" eingestampften book life philosophy and phenomenology and critically examine to which Gadamer 1991 in retrospect remarked: " today, I can barely imagine what the sowing has mitbewirkt in these preparatory years in which my own hermeneutical philosophy, ..., showed her first germs that spread Georg Misch in his major critical book had. " 1935 mix was distributed on racial grounds of the Nazi government from his teaching post. He emigrated to England in 1946 and returned back to Göttingen, where he continued his work on the history of autobiography as Emeritus until his death in 1965.
