Johann Georg Walch (1693-1775), Professor of Philosophy and Theology, was a prominent scholar of his time. Before establishing himself in Jena as a leading figure in the theological school of Franciscus Buddeus, he developed his extensive "Philosophisches Lexicon" in Leipzig, influenced by the school of Andreas Rüdiger, a critic of Wolff. First published in 1726, this work underwent several revisions by Walch himself. It is notable for its thorough and well-supported presentation of contemporary doctrines and its historical arrangement of these ideas. The lexicon serves as a compendium of philosophy and the understanding of its history among figures like Thomasius, Buddeus, and Rüdiger, effectively challenging the prevailing view of early 18th-century philosophy as dominated by Christian Wolff. The significantly expanded 1775 edition, which forms the basis of the current reprint, features clear distinctions made by editor Justus Chr. Hennings regarding his additions, preserving the original text. This version influenced philosophical discourse well into the 19th century and remains essential for historians studying the philosophy and intellectual landscape of the German Enlightenment.
