Biography

Karpe was born in Kranj, Carniola (nowadays Slovenia), to a townsman's family. His parents died soon and subsequently Count Lichteberg's family assumed responsibility for his upbringing and education. Karpe entered a Jesuit college in Ljubljana, which he finished in 1768.[1]

In 1769 Karpe moved to Vienna, where he studied law and philosophy. He graduated university in 1773. One year later Karpe assumed position of professor of

florins a year[2] (for comparison, professor of law Josef Vratislav Monse was paid 900). At the same time he was also assessor at the university's Academic Court.[1]

The University was relocated to Brno from 1778 to 1782. In Brno, Karpe taught also pedagogy. In 1781 Karpe became the university's Rector.[1]

Karpe was ardent admirer of

Leibniz and Wolff, but a critic of Kant[3] and advocate of deism and empiricism following Locke.[4] He was one of the few philosophers of the era, who were allowed to be published by the censors of the Vienna court's study commission.[5]

In 1786 Karpe became professor of philosophy at University of Vienna, where he remained until his death in 1806.

Ruđer Bošković and strongly criticised Bošković's opponent Immanuel Kant.[6]
