Summary

The university of Duisburg was very prolific in the first fifty years after its foundation in 1655. Within a few years, it established itself as one of the early centres of Cartesianism in Germany. As at other early modern universities, disputation theses were routinely written and published in Duisburg. However, this should not hide the fact that all works had to prove the author’s entitlement to publish such theses and the respondent’s entitlement to defend them in the subsequent disputation. As a result, printed disputations or dissertations did not only try to unfold a certain position argumentatively. In addition, the authors strategically staged the personal, social and discursive prerequisites of their actions. Their goal was to defend their entitlement to dispute against all possible criticism.
