Abstract

Schegk was the first Lutheran Aristotelian at Tübingen. Because of his broad learnedness, he became involved in many philosophical-theological disputes in his lifetime. With Petrus Ramus he was struggling over Aristotle’s understanding of science. Whereas he was debating over the subject area of metaphysics with the Italian philosopher Simon Simonius, he became part of the antitrinitarian controversy after the critique of the Sorbonne theologian Gilbert Génebrard. At the end he earned personal animosity among Lutheran theologians in Tübingen because of his critique of Luther’s doctrine of ubiquity.
