| Roman Catholic theologian, born in Dreyerwalde, W Germany. He studied at Münster, and became theological professor there (1807) and at Bonn (1819). He sought to combine the Catholic faith and doctrines with Kantian philosophy, and the Hermesian method became influential in the Rhineland, but his doctrines were condemned by Pope Gregory XVI in 1835. |
