Paul Asmus (* 14 September 1842 in Pillkallen, East Prussia in today's Kaliningrad Oblast; † 5 June 1877 ibid) was a German philosopher and theologian.

Life and work

Paul Asmus was born on 14 September 1842 in Pillkallen in what was then East Prussia. His father was a town physicist. After his father's early death in 1846, his Christian, sincerely pious mother Emma Asmus, née von Zitzewitz, moved with her five children to her old home in Pomerania. Asmus attended the grammar schools of Neustettin (today Szczecinek) and Stolp (today Słupsk) and the Nikolaischule in Leipzig. Asmus remained in contact with the revered headmaster Kock in Stolp even beyond his school days.

From 1862 to 1865, Asmus studied theology and philosophy in Leipzig, Erlangen, Berlin and Halle. At the same time he also worked as a tutor. From 1869 he worked at the secondary school of the orphanage of the Francke Foundations in Halle.

Asmus gave up his early childhood wish to become a pastor and devoted himself to a strictly scientific career. In 1871 he received his doctorate and habilitation at the University of Halle with the works "De dei immutabilitate" and "De relatione, quae est inter principia agendi moralia et religiosa". As a private lecturer, he then gave lectures on logic, psychology, philosophy of religion and the history of philosophy.
