EDGING IMMANUIL. FORMATION

the Gymnasia hobby for philology was replaced by interest to physics and philosophy. Strong influence on Edging formation during this period was rendered by professor Martin Knuttsen. From it the young man has heard for the first time Newton's name and under its management on the fourth year of training was accepted to the first independent composition on the physicist.

' ' Immanuil wrote Work to Thought on a true estimation of manpowers three years. And though this composition has not brought to it popularity and concedes on scale to later works, in it characteristic feature of the philosophical doctrine of the Edging - aspiration to true with propensity to reasonable compromises was already showed in case there are two extreme points of view.

In 1747, and without having protected magisterskoj the dissertation, the student has left a native city and has gone on earnings. In a province it served as the house teacher consistently in three families: the rural pastor, the rich landowner and the count. Here, in a Prussian remote place, the Edging has got pedagogical skills, has passed school of a knowledge of life.

Its article concerns this period on astronomy ' Kosmogonija, or Attempt to explain a universe origin, formation of heavenly bodies and the reason of their movement by the general laws of development of a matter according to Newton's theory '. Work has been written on the competitive theme offered by Prussian academy of sciences, but the young scientist has not dared to take part in competition, and it was issued only in 1754 after Edging returning in Kenigsberg.

A little after Immanuil has published the second article devoted to the same questions kosmogonii, - ' the Question on, whether the Earth from the physical point of view ' grows old. These two works of a steel some kind of a prelude to the cosmogonic treatise ' General natural history and the sky theory, or Attempt to interpret a structure and a mechanistic origin of all universe, proceeding from Newton's principles '. The treatise left anonymously in 1755, and soon in one of the Hamburg editions on it there was a positive review.
