Hermann Schell - one writes often also Hermann - (born on February 28th, 1850 with Freiburg-in-Brisgau, deceased on May 31st, 1906 with Würzburg) was a theologist and a catholic philosopher.

After having attended the large-ducal college with Freiburg, it entered in 1868 to the seminar of the city and studied at the university of Freiburg philosophy and theology, inter alia in the professor of dogmatic neoscholastic Constantin von Schätzler and at Jakob Sengler, one of the last Christian idealists. After returnbeing returned seminar into 1870 of the reasons of discipline, it went in Würzburg where, at Franz Brentano (which in 1873 was to leave the Catholic church), it worked with its thesis of philosophy entitled Die Einheit of Seelenlebens aus den Principien der Aristotelischen Philosophie ( the unit of the life of the heart according to the principles of philosophy aristotelician ) which it deposited in 1872 at Jakob Sengler in Freiburg and published in 1873. Schell was since its time of student with Würzburg until his death a regular member of the catholic association of the students Walhalla Würzburg.

After its ordination on August 17th, 1873, he worked initially during six years as vicar and professor of religion in Amorbach and Obertheres. In 1879 it went to supplement its theological studies in Rome. Returned in 1881, he worked in Margetshöchheim, Dimbach and Marktheidenfeld at the same time as he completed his thesis of theology entitled the activity of God trinitaire . In November 1883 this work was recognized like thesis of doctorate at the university of Tübingen and was published in 1885. As of the six-month period of winter 1884/85 it was named in Würzburg as professor without pulpit charged with apologetic, of the history of art and archeology Christian women. In 1888 it became there finally full professor of a pulpit of apologetic and archeology Christian women. In 1890 it ensured the professorship of Dogmatic and since 1894, of comparative theology and history of the Christian art.

In 1893 it presented its Katholische Dogmatik ( Dogmatique catholic ) in 3 volumes, but a call for a pulpit of dogmatic failed because of an intervention of the bishop.

In 1895/96 it published the first two volumes of its Gesamtapologetik under the title Die göttliche Wahrheit of Christentums ( the divine truth of Christianity ).

Its two works Der Katholicismus als Princip of Fortschritts ( Catholicism like principle of progress ) (1897) and Die neue Zeit und DER alte Glaube ( new Time and old faith ) (1898) made known it with the international level, but were worth a setting with the index to him. Schell was marked much by it personally, but there was subjected to this decision and remained faithful to its Church.

Between 1901 and 1905, it published Religion und Offenbarung , Jahwe und Christus and Christus . Das Evangelium und the Seine weltgeschichtliche Bedeutung . These works did not cause criticisms.

The theologists neoscholastic did not continue any less to show it monism, of rationalism and Protestantism. These quarrels affected much its health. May 31st, 1906 he died at the age of only 56 years of a cardiac arrest.

The theses of Schell which had been put at the Index were mainly recognized since by the second council of the the Vatican.
