Meyer Jürgen Bona M., (philosopher, 1829 – 1897). As the son of a wealthy merchant, he grew up in Hamburg and attended the Johanneum there from 1842-49. In the autumn of 1849 he went to Bonn to study medicine and natural sciences, but soon turned from the latter to philosophy, the study of which he continued in Berlin from 1851, primarily under Trendelenburg. Here he received his doctorate in philosophy in the summer of 1854 on the basis of a dissertation “De principiis Aristotelis in distributione animalium adhibitis”. The following year he dedicated a larger work to the same subject: “Aristotle’s Animal Science; a contribution to the history of zoology, physiology and ancient philosophy” (Berlin 1855). In the midst of the diversity of the ancient master’s empirical view of nature, the book astutely recognizes the basic principles of his philosophical system. Meyer was then asked to work on the Aristotle index that the Berlin Academy had produced and took over the scientific articles for it.
