1795), Swiss philosophical writer and physician, was See also:born at Brugg, in the See also:canton of See also:Aargau, on the 8th of See also:December 1728. He studied at See also:Gottingen, where he took the degree of See also:doctor of See also:medicine; and he established his reputation by the dissertation, De irritabilitate (1751).

Holland and See also:France, he practised as a physician in his native See also:place, and here he wrote Uber See also:die Einsamkeit (1756, emended and enlarged, 1784–85) and Vom Nationalstolz (1758). These books made a See also:great impression ip See also:Germany, and were translated into almost every See also:European See also:language.

In Zimmermann's See also:character there was a See also:strange See also:combination of sentimentalism, See also:melancholy and See also:enthusiasm; and it was by the See also:free and See also:eccentric expression of these qualities that he excited the interest of his contemporaries. Another See also:book by him, written at Brugg, Von der Erfahrung in der Arzneiwissenschaft (1764), also attracted much See also:attention.
