________________ KNUTZEN, MARTIN and its surroundings. However, it remained unclear how this metaphor should actually apply to the pramanas, and some, like Nagarjuna (VV, verses 30ff) even argued that actually a lamp cannot illuminate itself.

KNUTZEN, MARTIN (1713-1751) Martin Knutzen, the German Wolffian philosopher, studied at the University of Konigsberg and became an extraordinary professor there in 1734. Because he was a Wolffian, even though an unorthodox one, he never attained a full professorship in that Pietist-dominated school. However, because he was also a Pietist, Knutzen could never attain such a position in other German universities where Wolffians held the power of appointment. Knutzen disagreed with Christian Wolff on several significant points. His Commentatio Philosophica de commercio Mentis et Corporis (Philosophical Commentary on the Relation between Mind and Body; Konigsberg, 1735) was an attempt to reconcile Wolff's theory of preestablished harmony with the Pietist doctrine of physical influence. He extended the problem beyond Wolff, from the relation of soul and body to the interrelations of simple substances in general. In this and in a panpsychistic metaphysics, he was closer to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz than to Wolff. Knutzen, in his cosmological work Vernunftige Gedanken von den Cometen (Rational thought concerning comets; Konigsberg, 1744), was one of the first philosophers in Germany to accept, at least partially, the Newtonian theory of gravitational attraction. His theological work was derivative and of little significance. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF PHILOSOPHY 2nd edition * 123
