physiology, anatomy, zoology.

Müller introduced a new era of biological research in Germany and pioneered the use of experimental methods in medicine. He overcame the inclination to natural-philosophical speculation widespread in German universities during his youth, and inculcated respect for careful observation and physiological experimentation. He required of empirical research that it be carried out “with seriousness of purpose and thoughtfulness, with incorruptible love of truth and perseverance.” Anatomy and physiology, pathological anatomy and histology, embryology and zoology—in all these fields he made numerous fundamental discoveries. Almost all German scientists who achieved fame after the middle of the nineteenth century considered themselves his students or adopted his methods or views. Their remarks reveal his preeminent position in medical and biological research. Helmholtz, one of his most brilliant students, termed Müller a “man of the first rank” and stated tha

Johannes von Müller

In April 1772 he passed his theological examination, and soon after became a pro

More information about Johannes Müller

I am an interdisciplinary scholar with a background in history and literary studies and a special interest in the relationships and interconnections between the humanities and the natural sciences. My research focuses on the history of knowledge, science, and the natural environment. As an assistant professor at the Leiden University Centre for the Arts in Society, I teach on the history and culture of German- and Dutch-speaking Europe, environmental history, as well as on memory studies, and I coordinate the minor programme “Cultural Memory of War and Conflict”.

In cooperation with my colleague Laura Bertens, I coordinate the Environmental Humanities LU group and we are organizing workshops and lectures on the relationships between humans and their natural environments, cultural representations of nature, environmental history, and related topics.
