  Lorenz Oken - LoveToKnow 1911
LORENZ OKEN (1779-1851), German naturalist, was born at Bohlsbach, Swabia, on the 1st of August 1779.
His real name was Lorenz Ockenfuss, and under that name he was entered at the natural history and medical classes in the university of Wiirzburg, whence he proceeded to that of Gottingen, where he became a privat-docent, and abridged his name to Oken.
In the same work Oken described and recalled attention to the corpora Woliiana, or "primordial kidneys." The reputation of the young privat-docent of Gottingen had meanwhile reached the ear of Goethe, and in 1807 Oken was invited to fill the office of professor extraordinarius of the medical sciences in the university of Jena.

 Lorenz Oken
Oken wanted to establish "Isis" as a forum for all academic subjects (except theology and jurisprudence), and publicised his political views there.
After Oken and two other professors from Jena had taken part in the Wartburgfest and reported the event in "Isis", Oken was forced to resign and the journal was banned in Jena.
Oken's main work is considered to be the 13-volume "Naturgeschichte für alle Stände" (natural history for all social ranks), first published between 1833 and 1841.

  Lorenz Oken -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
In 1828 Oken resumed his original humble duties as privatdocent in the newly-established (additional info and facts about university of Munich) university of Munich, and soon afterwards he was appointed ordinary professor in the same university.
All of Oken's writings are deductive illustrations of an assumed principle, which, with other philosophers of the transcendental school, he deemed equal to the explanation of all the mysteries of nature.
It is incredible that Oken, had he adopted the idea from Goethe, or been aware of an anticipation by him, should have omitted to acknowledge the source--should not rather have eagerly embraced so appropriate an opportunity of doing graceful homage to the originality and genius of his patron.

 Lorenz Oken Biography | World of Genetics
Oken studied medicine at the University of Freiburg, but transferred to the University of Göttingen, where he took his medical degree in 1805.
Oken taught medicine at Göttingen from 1805 to 1807 and at the University of Jena from 1807 to 1819.
Yet Oken's fearless enthusiasm for defying authority, engaging in scientific and philosophical polemics, and asking fundamental questions about the origin and differentiation of life set the stage for the fierce controversies over evolution that occurred in the generation after his death.

 OKEN, LORENZ (1779-1851) - Online Information article about OKEN, LORENZ (1779-1851)
On their return to Gottingen Oken explained his ideas by reference to the skull of a turtle in Kieser's collection, which he disarticulated for that purpose with his own hands.
The circumstances under which the poet, in 182o, narrates having become inspired with the original idea are suspiciously analogous to those described by Oken in 18o?, as producing the same effect on his mind.
It was enough for him thus to vindicate his own claims; he abstains from any comment reflecting on Goethe, and maintained the same blameless silence when Goethe ventured for the first time to claim for himself, in 1820, the merit of having entertained the same idea, or made the discovery, thirty years previously.

Lorenz - It is not mechanical, like Kepler's mathematical vision of the Universe, nor sharply divided between the spiritual, human mind and non-spiritual, animal body, as Descartes has said, but it is in accord with the Holy Trinity, that is true.
Lorenz - In your comparative studies of many different beings, you have much cause to consider this matter of their particular goal or plan, of which you spoke before.
