 Johann Most - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Johann Most (5 February 1846, Augsburg, Bavaria – 17 March 1906, Cincinnati, Ohio) was a German-born emigrant to the United States, an anarchist and fiery orator, who in the late 19th century began to advocate the use of violence to achieve revolutionary political and social change.
He is most well-known for popularizing the strategy of "propaganda of the deed," which promoted direct action against individuals or institutions (including the use of violence) to force revolutionary change and inspire further action by others.
Most became one of Berkman's most outspoken critics for the assassination attempt, despite, noted Goldman, having "proclaimed acts of violence from the housetops." Yet in Freiheit, Most attacked both Goldman and Berkman, implying Berkman's act was designed to arouse sympathy for Frick.

 American Experience | Emma Goldman | People & Events | PBS
She recalled her first impression of Most: "His speech was a scorching denunciation of American conditions, a biting satire on the injustice and brutality of the dominant powers, a passionate tirade against those responsible for the Haymarket tragedy.
Most's best-known pamphlet, "The Science of Revolutionary Warfare: A Little Handbook of Instruction in the Use and Preparation of Nitroglycerine, Dynamite, Gun-Cotton, Fulminating Mercury, Bombs, Fuses, Poisons, etc." (1885) did little to diminish the stereotype of anarchists as fanatical bomb-throwers.
She later regretted her theatrics, confiding to a friend, "At the age of twenty-three, one does not reason." Johann Most died in 1906, the year Alexander Berkman was released from prison.

Johann Ludwig spend almost his whole career in Meiningen, a small court in the principality of Saxe-Meiningen, rising in 1711 to the position of Capell­meister, a position he held until his death in 1731.
Johann Ludwig has an important place in early eighteenth-century music, because he was involved in the performance and composition of some of the earliest mixed-text cantatas of the so-called "Neumeister type." But if not for his famous cousin, posterity would hardly know about his cantata composing.
Most of Johann Ludwig's surviving cantatas are transmitted only in scores and performing parts J. Bach prepared for performances during 1725-26 and later.

Johann Gutenberg invented the printing press in the 1450's, and the first book to ever be printed was a Latin language Bible, printed in Mainz, Germany.

Ironically, the inventor of the most important invention in history never profited from his invention and died in poverty… though the proceeds from the sale of just one single leaf from his Bible in today’s market would have provided Gutenberg with enough money to live out his last years comfortably.

 Johann Strauss Society: Johann Strauss II
Johann Strauss the Younger, the most famous and enduringly successful of nineteenth-century light-music composers, was born in Vienna on 25 October 1825.
His father, Johann Strauss the Elder, was by that time well on his way to becoming Europe's uncrowned king of dance music; indeed, it was only with Strauss senior's untimely death in 1849 that the younger man could advance his own musical standing in his native Vienna.
Building upon the firm musical foundations laid by his father (1804-49) and Joseph Lanner (1801-43), Johann II (along with his brothers Josef and Eduard) developed the classical Viennese Waltz to the point where it became as much a feature of the concert hall as the dance floor.

 Johann Gottlieb Fichte (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
On the contrary — and this is one of Fichte's most characteristic and controversial claims — one already has to be convinced, on wholly extra-philosophical grounds, of the reality of one's own freedom before one can enter into the chain of deductions and arguments that constitute the Wissenschaftslehre.
Having established the foundation of his new system, Fichte then turned to the task of constructing upon this foundation a fully-articulated transcendental system, the overall structure of which is most clearly outlined in the concluding section of the transcripts of his lectures on Wissenschaftslehre nova methodo.
This situation, however, has fundamentally altered, and some of the most insightful and original current work on Fichte is being done in English.
