Sommario/riassunto

Arthur Schopenhauer studied in Göttingen from 1809 to 1811 and mainly attended historical and natural history courses. One of his most important teachers was Johann Friedrich Blumenbach, the most famous natural scientist in Göttingen at the time. Schopenhauer continued the scientific studies he had begun in Göttingen even after he decided to pursue a career as a philosopher and moved to the newly founded university in Berlin. His interest in and knowledge of the natural sciences, and particularly physiology, is an important key to understanding his philosophy. Schopenhauer's transcripts of Blumenbach's lectures on natural history, mineralogy, anatomy and physiology document not only Blumenbach's influence on the intellectual development of the philosopher. At the same time, they are a valuable and vivid source for Blumenbach's work as a university lecturer. With his extremely popular lectures he shaped several generations of students and played a decisive role in giving modern natural sciences a place in the intellectual life of the 19th century.
