1818‐96 German physiologist. As a boy, he studied in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, the hometown of his parents, but later studied general natural sciences in Berlin and Bonn. He studied under JP Muller, and opened new doors in the study of animal electrical phenomena, contributing to research on the physiology of muscles and nerves. In 1858, he succeeded Muller as full professor of physiology at the University of Berlin. In addition to science, he was also well-versed in literature, art, and philosophy, and left behind many works in these fields. One of his most notable works is Über die Grenzen des Naturerkennens (1872), which advocated agnosticism and caused a stir among materialists, and is widely read in Japan as well.

1818‐96 ドイツの生理学者。少年のころ一時両親の故郷スイスのヌシャテルで学んだが,のちベルリンとボンで自然科学全般を修めたあとJ.P.ミュラーに師事し,動物電気現象の研究に新生面を開き,筋肉,神経の生理に関する研究に貢献した。1858年急逝したミュラーの後を継いでベルリン大学生理学正教授となる。彼は科学のほか,ひろく文学,芸術,哲学などにも造詣が深く,この方面に関する多数の著作を残しているが,なかでも不可知論を説いて唯物論者の間に一石を投じた《自然認識の限界についてÜber die Grenzen des Naturerkennens》(1872)は日本でもひろく読まれている。 出典 株式会社平凡社世界大百科事典 第2版について 情報 |
