FESL, MICHAEL JOSEPH. - Philosopher, b. in Prague in 1788, d. in Vienna in 1863; a disciple of B. Bolzano, editor of his works and disseminator of his philosophy (especially in anonymous articles and reviews). From 1816 he was a professor at Leitmeritz (Bohemia) and there in 1816 founded the Christenbund, a circle of theologians, inspired by the principles of Bolzano's philosophy. In 1819, following an accusation of high treason against the Christenbund, F. was sentenced to 12 years in prison and perpetual confinement. F.'s literary legacy is preserved, together with that of Bolzano, in the National Museum of Prague.
