Philosophy Faculty at Königsberg (18th Century)

The following graph includes all full and associate professors (with darker and lighter shades of the same color, and with light gray for those years when they were lecturers or Privatdozenten), and some of the longer-lasting lecturers (light gray).  Many of these professors also held a chair in another faculty (usually theology); this information is available in their individual biographies (two professors depicted here — Salthenius and Starck — briefly held chairs in philosophy, but then gave them up for chairs in theology).  Similarly, Mangelsdorff added the poetry chair to his assignments in 1784, retaining his history/rhetoric chair as well.  A few individuals who held an appointment for only a brief period, and who appear not to have actually given any lectures, have been omitted, although they are retained on the list of philosophy faculty.  Also, the temporary associate professorships held by Neufeldt [bio], Casseburg [bio], and Deutsch [bio] were omitted. 

Two individuals with undesignated associate professorships are also listed: Pörschke primarily gave public lectures on Greek texts (beginning in 1794), and so I list his professorship as such.  Wlochatius is shown with an associate professorship in Logic and Metaphysics; his first public lecture was on metaphysics, and after that always on logic.
