Otto Willmann (24 April 1839, Polnisch Lissa – 1 July 1920, Leitmeritz) was a German philosopher and educator, in the tradition of Johann Friedrich Herbart.[1]
A devout Catholic, Willmann was the leading German Catholic scholar in education of his time.[1] In 1862, he received his doctorate from the University of Berlin with the dissertation De figuris grammaticis. He taught at the German University of Prague from 1872 until 1905.[1] Willmann was a contributor to the Catholic Encyclopedia. In the history of ideas, he is also known for rediscovering Agostino Steuco's work De perenni philosophia.[2]
Willmann was married to Franziska Biller, with whom he had four children. His daughter Charlotte married the publisher Hermann Herder.
