Ernst Haeckel

    16 febbraio 1834 – 9 agosto 1919

    Ernst Haeckel fu un influente naturalista e filosofo tedesco, il cui vasto lavoro in biologia ha plasmato la nostra comprensione della vita. Ha mappato le connessioni tra tutte le forme di vita attraverso un albero genealogico e ha introdotto termini chiave ancora oggi utilizzati in biologia. Le sue creazioni artistiche, in particolare dettagliate illustrazioni di animali e creature marine, continuano a catturare per la loro bellezza e precisione. La filosofia di Haeckel e la sua difesa delle idee di Darwin hanno lasciato un segno indelebile sia nel campo della biologia che nel più ampio discorso intellettuale.

      Der Jenaer Zoologe Ernst Haeckel zählt zu den bedeutendsten, aber auch umstrittensten Naturwissenschaftlern des ausgehenden 19. und beginnenden 20. Jahrhunderts. Als begeisterter Anhänger von Darwin arbeitete er an der Weiterführung und Popularisierung der Evolutionstheorie und wurde zu einer Symbolfigur in den Weltanschauungskämpfen seiner Zeit.Als Naturwissenschaftler und Hochschullehrer war Ernst Haeckel in ein sich beständig erweiterndes Netzwerk von durchaus nicht immer gleichgesinnten Naturforschern eingebunden. Der erste Band der Wissenschaftskorrespondenz enthält Briefe aus dem Zeitraum von April 1858 bis Oktober 1866 und umfasst das frühe wissenschaftliche Netzwerk Ernst Haeckels. Zu diesem gehören u.a. Charles Darwin, Anton Dohrn, Carl Gegenbaur, Thomas Henry Huxley, Albert Kölliker, Eduard von Martens und Max Schultze. Die Briefe dokumentieren Haeckels Karriereweg vom examinierten Mediziner bis zum ordentlichen Professor der Zoologie. Sie geben neben Einblicken in die Lebenswirklichkeit Haeckels und seiner Korrespondenzpartner Aufschluss über die Entstehungsgeschichte seiner Arbeiten über Radiolarien (1862), Medusen (1865) und seiner "Generellen Morphologie" (1866).
