Reimarus, Hermann Samuel

    0.02 sec.

Reimarus, Hermann Samuel (1694–1768)

German naturalist, philosopher and Protestant theologian. He was elected rector of the school at Wismar, Germany, in 1723, and professor of Hebrew and mathematics at the gymnasium of Hamburg, Germany, in 1728. Among his works are Vornehmste Wahrheiten der naturlichen Religion/The Finest Truths of Natural Religion (1754), Vernunftlehre als Anweisung zum richtigen Gebrauche der Vernunft/Instructions on the Correct Use of Reason (1756), and the Wolfenbutteler Fragmente eines Unbekannten/Wolfenbuttel Fragments from a Stranger, which denied the supernatural origin of Christianity and created a sensation when published by Gotthold Lessing in 1777. Reimarus was born in Hamburg, Germany.
