BOLZANO, BERNHARD Austrian priest and philosopher, was born at Prague on Oct. 5, 1781, and died there on Dec. 18, 1848. He was professor of the philosophy of religion at Prague from 1805 to 182o, but was compelled to resign in that year, and was suspended from his priestly functions. The most important of his numerous works are the W issenscha f tslehre, oder Versuch einer neuen Darstellung der Logik, advocating a scientific method in the study of logic (4. vols. Sulzbach, 183 7) ; the Lehrbuch der Religionswissenscha f t (4. vols. Sulzbach, 1834), a philosophic representation of all the dogmas of Roman Catholic theology; and Athanasia, oder Grunde fur die Unsterblichkeit der Seele (end ed., Mainz, 1838). In philosophy he followed Rein hard in ethics and the monadology of Leibnitz, though he was also influenced by Kant.
