FriedrichPaulson, a famous German educator, called Haller University "the first university with modern significance not only in Germany but also in Europe". Haller University, formerly known as Knights College, officially opened 1694, with the support of the king. Divinity and rationalism are the initiators and promoters of Haller's modernization tendency. The devout Sect was formed in the second half of the17th century. In view of the rationalism of Protestant Lutheran School and its pursuit of religious forms, it emphasizes practical beliefs and emotional beliefs rather than red tape religious theories. Devotees attach importance to education, and their views are mostly reflected in the educational reform carried out by the theologian Frank (1663- 1727), who broke through the prevailing theological orthodoxy at that time. Tommasi (1655-1728) represents a moderate rationalism tendency and is one of the major university reformers in the early18th century. He swept away the formalism prejudice and superstition in the prevailing political and Christian laws at that time, and tried to combine the knowledge urgently needed for gentleman education (including horse riding, fencing, foreign languages and new science) with the formal requirements of the state for civilian education. Wolff (1679— 1754), the spokesman and philosopher of the German Enlightenment, demolished the barrier between scholasticism, mathematics and natural science. All three of them used to teach in Harley, and it was they who initiated the modernization movement of Harley University. Tommasi Uss is known as "the first teacher of Haller University" and the founder of the new university. He is also a philosopher and representative of the Enlightenment and has the reputation of "the father of the Enlightenment". He once taught law and philosophy at the University of Leipzig, and published a magazine mocking the traditional university system at the beginning of 1688, arguing that "a lot of university knowledge is useless and pedantic, and it is hidden under outdated teaching methods and an abandoned language". He objected to wearing traditional university robes to show his originality. Due to a dispute with the royal Danish priest on religious issues, his works were burned by the Danish government, which asked the Saxon government to take measures to punish his arrogance. In the end, tommasi Uus was expelled from Leipzig University, not only losing his freedom of publication, but even being threatened with prosecution and even imprisonment. /kloc-fled to Berlin in 0/690, and was welcomed by King Frederick I of Prussia at that time. 1692, the king allowed him to teach logic and law to young Prussian nobles at the Knight Academy in Halle. With the support of the king and pious people, tommasi Uus upgraded the Knights College to a university, and was formally chartered in 1694. In the new university, as a professor of philosophy and head of the law department, he abandoned the scholastic philosophy course handed down from medieval universities and made philosophy independent from theology. He personally teaches philosophy, German, jurisprudence and natural law. He gave lectures in German for the first time, which broke the monopoly of Latin in university lectures and showed the national consciousness of enlightenment thinkers. In his lectures, he emphasized practical knowledge and real life, attached importance to the application of useful science, and made university education closer to real life. He hopes that his students will become useful talents in the field of national law in the future, that is, talented enlightenment talents. Under his leadership, Haller University became the guiding center of German new cultural thought in the18th century. Later, the Saxon government, which had previously expelled him, wanted to invite him back to Leipzig and promised to make him an official of parliamentary advisers, but he refused. He stuck to his progressive belief in Harley until his death. Frederick the great compared tommasi uz and Leibniz, and thought that among modern people, these two men made the greatest contribution to the enlightenment and education of the German people. Frank taught in Halle from 169 1 until his death from 1727. He taught oriental languages first, then theology, and was the first person to teach devout theology in a German university. From 65438 to 0695, he founded an orphanage and a series of educational institutions in Halle, focusing on cultivating Christians with religious beliefs and intelligence necessary for real life. Wolff is known as the master of enlightenment philosophy and "the real founder of the Enlightenment", and he is deeply influenced by Leibniz. Except 1723 to 1740, he taught in Haller for most of his life, mainly teaching mathematics, physics and philosophy. Historians believe that Wolff "helped Haller University become a major modern German university". As an enlightenment philosopher, Wolff wrote and lectured in German like Thomas Yus. He even said: "Our language is much better than Latin for science. Expressions made in pure German, if used in Latin, sound very rude." Wolff was the first person to create a modern philosophy system based on mathematics and natural science. Paulson said that before Kant's philosophy gained a dominant position, Wolff and his students ruled German universities and general education for more than half a century. With the efforts of the above three people, Haller University became the first birthplace of academic freedom. In the old university, the dogma affirmed by the church is the principle of education, and professors can't violate it. This is the case in the teaching of theology and philosophy, as well as in the teaching of law and medicine. Haller adopted modern philosophy and science and became the earliest base for creative scientific research. It is probably one of the main reasons why the Prussian government enthusiastically supports it that it no longer emphasizes ancient language and literature as traditional universities do, and the curriculum is utilitarian. Tommasi, Frank, Wolff and other teachers teach in their mother tongue, not Latin. Shtal (1660— 1734), a professor of science and founder of phlogiston theory, also emphasized the practical application of scientific knowledge. Haller became an important training base for Prussian civil servants. From the establishment of Haller University in 1694 to 1728, no less than 18208 students entered Haller, more than any German university. In the first ten years of Haller's establishment, it also recruited more aristocratic youths than other institutions. Young aristocrats mainly study law, which brings high prestige to universities. /kloc-In the 8th century, Haller University has become the most important university in Germany, even the most rigorous research institution and professional higher education institution in continental Europe. Its influence is very far-reaching, and other universities have begun to follow Haller's example. The most outstanding one is the University of G? ttingen, which was founded in 1737.
