| Summary: | Wilhelm Ostwald was a well- known scholar in Imperial Germany. After retiring from his chair for physical chemistry at Leipzig University in 1906, he lived as a freelance author and speaker. Beginning with chemical and philosophical studies he soon widened his sujet by introducing education, psychology of geniuses or the use of world languages. Thus, by and by he became acknowledged with milieus of dissidents and reformer . By 1911 he was elected president of the German Monistic League, a bourgeois free-thinker association founded by the famous zoologist and Darwinist Ernst Haeckel . The paper reconstructs the development of the free-thinker Ostwald in connection with his status as a freelancer and links thus idealistic and economic motives of his weltanschauliche radicalisation. |
