  • Karl Joseph Hieronymus Windischmann was a German philosopher and anthropologist. He attended the Gymnasium in Mainz, and in 1772 took the course in philosophy at he university there. He continued this course at Würzburg, where he also studied the natural sciences and medicine until 1796. After a year at Vienna he settled in 1797 as a practising physician at Mainz, where he also gave medical lectures. In 1801 the Elector of Mainz, Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal, summoned him to Aschaffenburg as court physician. In 1803 Windischmann became professor of philosophy and history at the institute for philosophy and theology at Aschaffenburg, and in 1818 was appointed professor of philosophy and medicine at the University of Bonn. He took an active part against the ideas of George Hermes in the University of Bonn, and when the investigation of Hermesianism began at Rome he was one of the German scholars directed to draw up opinions. The first part of his report was sent to Rome in June, 1834, the second part in March, 1835; the Hermesians consequently attributed to Windischmann a large share in the condemnation of their views. In his earlier years Windischmann's philosophy, as shown in his work Ideen zur Physik (I, Würzburg and Bamberg, 1805), was a pantheistic mysticism under the influence of Schelling's philosophy of nature. He believed, however, that he could unite it with Christianity. But gradually he worked his way into a Christian philosophy. In his chief work, Die Philosophie im Fortgang der Weltgeschichte (Philosophy in the progress of World History), he planned to present the history of philosophy in connection with a positive Christian philosophy of history which was influenced by Hegel. But the work was not finished; its four volumes (Bonn, 1827–1834) only dealt with China and Japan.
  • Karl Joseph Hieronymus Windischmann war Arzt, Philosoph und Anthropologe. Geboren und aufgewachsen in Mainz, studierte er dort ab 1787 Philosophie. Auf Grund der französischen Invasion musste er 1792 an die Universität Würzburg wechseln, wo er sein Studium um das Fach Medizin erweiterte und 1796 promovierte. Nach einem einjährigen Aufenthalt in Wien kehrte er 1797 nach Mainz zurück, um dort zu praktizieren. 1801 ging er nach Aschaffenburg und wurde Hofmedicus am Hof des Kurfürsten Friedrich Karl Joseph von Erthal. 1803 erfolgte seine Ernennung zum Professor für Philosophie und Geschichte. Bald darauf erhielt er den Titel eines Königlichen Medizinalrats. 1818 wurde er an die neu gegründete Universität Bonn berufen, wo er nicht nur Geschichte und Philosophie lehrte, sondern auch als Professor der medizinischen Fakultät Pathologie und Geschichte der Medizin las. Windischmann ließ sich in den Streit um den „Hermesianismus“ hineinziehen und erstellte ein Gutachten gegen Georg Hermes, das maßgeblich zur Ablehnung des „Hermesianismus“ führte. Windischmann gab eine Reihe von Schriften heraus, zuletzt die „Philosophischen Vorlesungen“ seines verstorbenen Freundes Friedrich Schlegel. 1839 starb Windischmann in Bonn. Sein Sohn Karl-Joseph Windischmann wurde 1807 in Aschaffenburg geboren und wurde Universitätsprofessor für Anatomie in Löwen.
