The Göttingen philosopher Michael Hißmann (17521784) has been the subject of considerable attention from historians of philosophy due to his materialistic positions. He conducted an extensive correspondence with friends and colleagues, including Christian Garve, Christian Konrad Wilhelm Dohm, Franz von Irwing, and Jakob Mauvillon. Hißmann's recently discovered legacy now makes possible an extensive documentation of this correspondence.
