Ernst Julius Wilhelm Schuppe (5 May 1836 – 29 March 1913) was a German positivist philosopher, born in Brieg, Silesia. He advocated what he called 'immanence philosophy'.
In 1860 Schuppe received his doctorate of philosophy and jurisprudence from the University of Berlin with a thesis on Ciceronian rhetoric. From 1861 he was a school teacher in Berlin, Breslau, Neisse, Gliwice and Bytom. In 1873 he was appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Greifswald, becoming university rector in 1884. He died in Breslau.
Schuppe is known for promoting a concept of conscious immanence, an idea in which the subject and object form a unity. His philosophy of immanence, or ego, was to be regarded with certainty and to be used as a starting point for epistemology.
