Breve descrizione dei contenuti:

Born in 1747 in Bern as the son of a craftsman, Ith studied theology and then taught as a preceptor or private tutor. In 1770 he become a pastor. After having received a stipend, he studied in Göttingen, Leipzig, and Berlin. From 1778 to 1786 he was a librarian in Bern’s Stadtbibliothek. In 1781 he became philosophy professor at the Bernese Akademie, and in 1787 he was also appointed as a philosophy professor at Berne’s Politisches Institut. In 1796 he left Berne to take up a parish in the Biel lake district. After his return to Berne in 1799, he became pastor and deacon of the Münsterkirche, a position he kept until his death in 1813. Apart from Charles Bonnet (who read and commented Kant’s First Critique as early as 1788), Ith was one of the most influential first Swiss readers of Kant’s works. Thus, Martin Bondeli has found an excerpt with the title of Kantischer Stufenleiter der Vorstellungsarten taken from Christian Gottfried Schütz’s famous review of Johann Schultz’s Erläuterungen on the Allgemeine Literatur-Zeitung of 12-30 July 1785 in the margins of the Nachschrift of the Ith’s course on Logica theoretica (first given in 1783). In the course Ith follows Leibniz and Wolff, and only the excerpt is Kantian. Furthermore, it is not in Ith’s hand, but in that of Abraham Friedrich von Mutach, a student of Ith’s in Berna, who switched to Göttingen in 1789. This gives 1785 for as a terminus a quo and 1789 as a terminus ad quem. Later, Ith offered a psychologistical interpretation of the Kritik der reinen Vernunft, in which it has been assigned the systematic role of an introduction to logic or of a Präliminarlehre. The reason is that the operations of representing and knowing precede the operations of thought. In logic, Ith is close to post-kantian logicians such as Carl Leonhard Reinhold, Johann Heinrich Abicht and J.G.C.C. Kiesewetter.
