Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORITZ, KARL PHILIPP (1757-1793) ,
German
  author, was born at
Hameln
  on the
Weser
  on the 15th of September 1757, of humble parentage. After receiving a scanty schooling, he was apprenticed to a hat-maker, but was later enabled to study philosophy at
Erfurt
  and Wittenberg and in 1777 became teacher in a school at Dessau. While on a tour through
Italy
  in 1786 he became acquainted with Goethe, who interested himself in him. On his return, he was appointed
professor
  of archaeology and aesthetics, at the
academy
  of art in Berlin, and in this city he died on the 26th of June 1793. Of Moritz's writings on aesthetic, archaeological and philosophical subjects, the little treatise Uber die bildende Nachahmung des Schonen (1788; re-printed 1888) and Die Gotterlehre (1791; loth ed., 1855, a reprint in Reclam's Universalbibliothek, 1878) are important; interesting, too, are the accounts of his travels, Reisen eines Deutschen in England (1788; repr. 1903; also trans. into Eng.) and Reisen eines Deutschen in Italien (3 vols., 1792-1793). As an author he is best known by his two novels, Anton Reiser (1785-1790; new ed. by L. Geiger, 1886) and Andreas Hartknopf (1786), which are mainly autobiographical.
See K. F. Klischnig, Erinnerungen aus den zehn letzten Lebensjahren meines Freundes Anton Reiser (1794); Varnhagen von Ense, Denkwurdigkeiten, vol. iv. (1838) ; and M.Dessoir, Karl Philipp Moritz als Aesthetiker (1889).
