or a German Jesuit, was born Jan. 30, 1728, at Kotzing, in Lower Bavaria, studied at Niederaltaich and Munich, and entered in 1745 the Order of the Jesuits at Landsberg. In 1759 he received holy orders, lectured at Soleure and Innspruck on philosophy and theology, was appointed pastor at Ingolstadt in 1776, and in 1782 at Kernnath. Having resigned his pastorate, he retired to Munich, where he died Aug. 21, 1797. Stattler has the merit of having shown the untenability of modern philosophy, especially that of Kant. He wrote, Wahre und allein hinreichende Reformationsart des katholischen Priesteretandes (Ulm, 1791) : — Demonstratio Catholica (placed on the Index): — Plan zu der allein moglichen vereinigung im Glauben der Protestanten mit der kathol. Kirche und den Grenzen dieser Moglichkeit (Augsburg and Munich, 1791) : — Tractatio Cosmologica de Viribus et Natura Corporum (Munich, 1763): — Philosophia Methodo Scientiis Propria Explanata (ibid, 1769-72) : — Demonstratio Evangelica adversus Theistas, etc. (ibid. 1770) : — Ethica Christiana Universalis (Ingolstadt, 1772): — Compendium Philosophicum (ibid. 1773): — DeLocis Theologicis (Weissenburg, 1775): — Theologioe Theoreticoe Tractatus VI (Munich, 1776): — Theolog. Christ. Theoretica (ibid. 1781, etc.): — Wahres Verhaltniss der kantischen Philosophie zur christl. Religion und Moral (ibid. 1794): — Meine noch immer feste Uberzeugung von dem vollen Ungrunde der kantischen Philosophie und von dem aus ihrer Aufnahme in christliche Schulen unfehlbar entstehenden aussersten Schaden fur Moral und Religion, gegen zwei neue Vertheidiger (Landshut, 1794).
