LORENZ Oken (1779-1851),
was a German transcendental naturalist, philosopher & physician. Born
Okenfuss, the son of a farmer, he simplified his name to Oken while at medical
school in Freiburg, Bavaria. From professor of Medicine at the University of
Jena, he soon turned to philosophy & the natural sciences, publishing a
controversial journal “Isis “ for almost 30 years.
The journal was
banned for a time in Jena & Oken was obliged to resign from his post of
professor. After a short & contentious sojourn as a professor of Physiology
at the University of Munich he became a professor of Natural History at the
newly founded University of Zürich, holding this post until his death.
He was influenced
by Pythagorean mysticism, becoming a self-proclaimed pantheist. In his time, this
German physician, philosopher, and mystic was considered a brilliant thinker by
many Americans, including the New England transcendentalists. To Oken, God
exhibited himself in nature, and when God meets man he meets himself, for man
is a god created by God.
Oken was a prolific & vocal writer, lecturer and theorist, publishing many philosophical treatises during his life. His masterpiece and lasting legacy to the world is the 13-volume "Naturgeschichte für alle Stände" (Natural History for all Social Ranks), first published between 1833 and 1841.
