Biography
Bauch was born in Groß Nossen , a district of Münsterberg, in Silesia (now in Poland ). He began studying philosophy in Strasbourg , Heidelberg and Freiburg . In 1901, under the leadership of Heinrich Rickert in Freiburg, he received his doctorate [5] , which gave him the right to teach some courses. One of his students was Rudolf Carnap , who later became the central figure of the Vienna Circle . He received a bachelor 's degree in 1903, which allowed him to become a professor at Halle University . He taught as a “titular professor” in Halle from 1903 to 1910, and from 1911 as a “regular professor” at the University of Jena .
Activities
In Jena, he made friends with Gottlob Frege and collaborated with the philosopher Richard Henigswald . He became an influential figure in the Kant-Gesellschaft (Kant Society) and helped publish a collection of Kant's works at the Pante Academy . Until 1916, he was editor of the journal Kant Society, Kant-Studien (Kant Studies). He was forced to resign after the publication of an anti-Semitic article in the right-wing nationalist tabloid, which caused heated debate in the Kant Society. Many neo-Kantians, including the subsequent editor of the magazine Henigswald, were Jews, and quite a few were Social Democrats. In 1917, Bauch founded his own philosophical society - the German Philosophical Society, which published the magazine Beiträge zur Philosophie des Deutschen Idealismus ("Contribution to the philosophy of German idealism"). One of its authors was Frege. When the Nazis came to power, Bauch's political views played a positive role for him. While many Neo-Kantians had to emigrate, and some of them ended up in concentration camps (including Henigswald during the year), Bauch became head of the German Philosophical Society in 1934.
Philosophical style
Heinrich Rickert , from whom Bauch studied, was the second leader (after Wilhelm Windelband ) of the so-called Baden or neo-Kantian school of southwestern Germany. Unlike its main competitor, the Marburg school, the Baden Neo-Kantians were more interested in practical philosophy than in the philosophy of science . They emphasized the distinction between fact and value and sought to use the concept of “value” for epistemological and ontological purposes. For example, the statement that the proposal is “true” is sometimes equated with the fact that it “requires consent” (that is, that it should be trusted). However, Bauch was a rather unorthodox follower of the Baden school, and this was so evident that some commentators consider him to be a representative of a special direction of neo-Kantianism. Sharing interest in the philosophy of value, Bauch showed a much greater interest in the philosophy of mathematics and logic than was common among the Baden Neo-Kantians. Unlike Rickert, he sympathized with the logic of Gottlob Frege (which Rickert rejected on old-fashioned Kantian soil) and was positive about the belief of the Marburg neo-Kantians in the unity of logic and mathematics.
