Ernst Julius Wilhelm Schuppe (5 May 1836 – 29 March 1913) was a German positivist[1] philosopher, born in Brieg, Silesia.
[2] In 1860 Schuppe received his doctorate in jurisprudence from the University of Berlin with a thesis on Ciceronian rhetoric.
From 1861 he was a school teacher in Berlin, Breslau, Neisse, Gliwice and Bytom.
Schuppe is known for promoting a concept of conscious immanence, an idea in which the subject and object form a unity.
His philosophy of immanence, or ego, was to be regarded with certainty and to be used as a starting point for epistemology.
