Johann Martin Chladenius

Johann Martin Chladni also: Johann Martin Chladenius ( born April 17, 1710 in Wittenberg, † September 10, 1759 in Erlangen, Germany ) was a German Protestant theologian and historian.

Life

Born as the son of Martin Chladni, he attended high school in Coburg Casimirianum, enrolled on October 17, 1731 at the University of Wittenberg, where he also taught after his studies with the receipt of philosophical Magistergrad on 17 October 1731. He went to the University of Leipzig, where he became in 1742 associate professor of church antiquities.

1743 he took over the management of the Casimirianums in Coburg, and was appointed in 1747 as professor of theology, rhetoric and poetry at the University of Erlangen, where he received his doctorate in the same year as a doctor of theology. Although he was not originally designed for historians, he still made ​​by its philosophical depth and pragmatic doctrinal theory of history a name.

As a theologian, he was guided by the Lutheran orthodoxy, which he sought to connect with the rationalism of Christian Wolff and empiricism. In historiography he is far ahead of its time and laid the first historical sources from after a hermeneutic method. He stepped it up against the representatives of the historical Pyrrhonism, introduced the concept of a marriage points from which one can consider multi- perspective- historical reality.

Chladni applies with its interpretation as one of the first methodologists of modern historical scholarship.
