EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from "Histoire des Philosophes Modernes" by Alexandre Saverien showcases the esteemed German philosopher, Christian Wolff or Wolf or Wolfius. Born in Breslau in 1679, Wolff's intellectual prowess and contributions to mathematics and natural philosophy earned him a professorship at Halle University from 1706 to 1723 and again from 1740 onwards. He later held the position of professor at Marburg University between 1723 and 1740. In this portrait, we see Wolff depicted with his long hair cascading down his shoulders, a characteristic style of the time. Dressed in an elegant attire befitting a scholar of the Enlightenment era, he exudes an air of wisdom and intellect. The intricate details captured by the engraver beautifully convey his scholarly demeanor. Wolff's significant influence on both mathematics and philosophy is evident through this image. As one of Germany's most prominent thinkers during the 18th century, he made groundbreaking contributions to various fields such as logic, metaphysics, ethics, and political theory. This historical print not only provides us with a glimpse into German culture during that period but also serves as a testament to Wolff's enduring legacy as a renowned scientist, philosopher, and professor. It stands as a reminder of his immense impact on academia and further ignites our curiosity about the rich history of ideas that shaped our world today.
