Johann Friedrich Flatt was a pupil of Gottlob Christian Storr and, like his teacher, a representative of the so-called older Tübingen School and Bible-based supernaturalism. He was known for his critical lectures on the philosophy of Immanuel Kant - on the one hand the first Tübingen professor who in his lectures with the socket ( a founder of supernaturalism ) grappled - but most of all by his founding and editorship of the magazine for Christian dogma and morality of from 1796 to 1803. His research focus was the Kantian philosophy, Christian morality and theory of New Testament exegesis.

On behalf of the suffering from the effects of a stroke Gottfried Ploucquet Flatt held in the summer term 1786 the first Tübingen lecture on ( empirical ) psychology. Flatts psychological lectures were attended, among others, Hegel, Schelling and Holderlin, and had great influence on their thinking. Hegel designed his own psychological ideas 1794 in Bern based on his lecture notes Riebe from Tübingen.
