Question: British biographer and translator of German philosophy and literature R.J. Hollingdale was elected president of what in 1989, partly because of his work with the posthumously published notebooks of G. C. Lichtenberg?

full_context: Document 1: Jeremias Friedrich Gülich: Jeremias Friedrich Gülich was a dyer in the neighbourhood of Stuttgart: he published "Complete Dyeing and Bleaching Book" an elaborate 6 Volume work on the technical details of dying. He made contributions in improving the body of scientific knowledge on colour. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe praised Jeremias' contribution to optics heavily in his book Theory of Colours. Although Jeremias and Goethe never conversed personally, Jeremias was very pleased to be praised by a figure so well known. Jeremias also helped to set industry standards on dying, most notably of sheep wool. After writing his books between in Sindelfingen between the years of 1776-1778, he ran a military orphanage in Ludwigsburg, where the boys spun cotton and the girls knitted and spun of cotton & flax. In 1785 Jeremias opened his own cotton mill. By the end of his life he had become the sole supplier of clothing to the military and also opened a saltpeter and gunpowder factory.
Document 2: Otto von Guericke: Otto von Guericke (originally spelled "Gericke", ] ; November 20, 1602 – May 11, 1686 (Julian calendar); November 30, 1602 – May 21, 1686 (Gregorian calendar)) was a German scientist, inventor, and politician. His major scientific achievements were the establishment of the physics of vacuums, the discovery of an experimental method for clearly demonstrating electrostatic repulsion, and his advocacy of the reality of "action at a distance" and of "absolute space".
Document 3: O. J. Matthijs Jolles: Otto Jolle Matthijs Jolles (1911–1968) performed a major service to strategic studies in the United States by providing the first American translation of Carl von Clausewitz's "magnum opus", "On War". Jolles himself is a bit obscure to students of military affairs, largely because his translation of "On War" was his only published effort in that field. Even his nationality has been misidentified—he has been variously identified as Hungarian, Czech, and Dutch. Military historian Jay Luvaas once quoted an unidentified Israeli professor as saying "whereas the first English translation was by an Englishman who did not know German, the 1943 American translation was by a Hungarian who did not know English." There is little in the Jolles translation to warrant such a comment. In the field of German literature, Jolles is quite well known, especially for his work on Friedrich Schiller. Most of his published work, however, is in German.
Document 4: God is dead: "God is dead" (German:    ; also known as the death of God) is a widely quoted statement by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche. It first appears in Nietzsche's 1882 collection "The Gay Science" ("Die fröhliche Wissenschaft ", also translated as "The Joyful Pursuit of Knowledge and Understanding") However, it is most famously associated with Nietzsche's classic work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" ("Also sprach Zarathustra "), which is most responsible for making the phrase popular.
Document 5: Friedrich Nietzsche: Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche ( ; ] ; 15 October 1844 – 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, poet, philologist, and Latin and Greek scholar whose work has exerted a profound influence on Western philosophy and modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. He became the youngest ever to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869, at the age of 24. He resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life, and he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889, at age 44, he suffered a collapse and a complete loss of his mental faculties. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897, and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, and died in 1900.
Document 6: Georgius Agricola: Georgius Agricola ( ; 24 March 1494 – 21 November 1555) was a German Catholic, scholar and scientist. Known as "the father of mineralogy", he was born at Glauchau in Saxony. His birth name was Georg Pawer ("Bauer" in modern German); "Agricola" is the Latinized version of his name, by which he was known his entire adult life; "Agricola" and "Bauer" mean "farmer" in their respective languages. He is best known for his book "De Re Metallica" (1556).
Document 7: Influence and reception of Friedrich Nietzsche: Friedrich Nietzsche's influence and reception varied widely and may be roughly divided into various chronological periods. Reactions were anything but uniform, and proponents of various ideologies attempted to appropriate his work quite early. By 1937, this led Georges Bataille to argue against any "instrumentalization" of Nietzsche's thought, paradoxically as a social-anarchist himself; Bataille, the passionate, determined socialist and anti-fascist, believed that any simple-minded interpretation or unified ideological characterization of Nietzsche's work, granting predominance to any particular aspect, failed to do justice to the body of his work as a whole.
Document 8: Georg Christoph Lichtenberg: Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German scientist, satirist, and Anglophile. As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany. Today, he is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called "Sudelbücher", a description modelled on the English bookkeeping term "scrapbooks", and for his discovery of the strange tree-like electrical discharge patterns now called Lichtenberg figures.
Document 9: Experiments and Observations on Electricity: The book came about through the activities of scientists at the Royal Society of London. Franklin sent letters to members of the Society about his experiments on electricity and the observations he had made. Most of these letters went to Peter Collinson. Some of these were read at the society's meetings. There was much interest shown, so some of them were sent to a printer to be published in a magazine. Public interest in Franklin's letters about electricity led the Society to gather together many of the letters to Collinson from Franklin over a two-year period and send them to the printer for publication. This first collection of letters was published in a ninety-page pamphlet in 1751. It was soon followed by other parts that were "Supplemental" to the existing edition and eventually a "New" publication was sold from the total of all the "Parts" produced. Each edition expanded by additional Franklin letters being added. It ultimately became a 496-page volume by 1769. The book inspired others to follow in Franklin's footsteps to do further in-depth research on electricity.
Document 10: Johann Christian Dieterich: Johann Christian Dieterich (1722–1800) was the founder of the Dieterich’schen Verlagsbuchhandlung publishing house and close friend of Georg Christoph Lichtenberg. He published the first "Musen-Almanach".
Document 11: Eduard Zeller: Eduard Gottlob Zeller (] ; 22 January 1814, Kleinbottwar – 19 March 1908, Stuttgart), was a German philosopher and Protestant theologian of the Tübingen School of theology. He was well known for his writings on Ancient Greek philosophy, especially Pre-Socratic Philosophy, and most of all for his celebrated, multi-volume historical treatise "The Philosophy of Greeks in their Historical Development" (1844–52). Zeller was also a central figure in the revival of neo-Kantianism.
Document 12: A. J. Ayer: Sir Alfred Jules "Freddie" Ayer, FBA ( ; 29 October 1910 – 27 June 1989), usually cited as A. J. Ayer, was a British philosopher known for his promotion of logical positivism, particularly in his books "Language, Truth, and Logic" (1936) and "The Problem of Knowledge" (1956).
Document 13: R. J. Hollingdale: Reginald John "R. J." Hollingdale (20 October 1930 – 28 September 2001) was a British biographer and translator of German philosophy and literature, especially the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Goethe, E. T. A. Hoffmann, G. C. Lichtenberg, and Schopenhauer. Hollingdale was elected president of The Friedrich Nietzsche Society in 1989. Along with Walter Kaufmann, he was responsible for rehabilitating Nietzsche's reputation in the English-speaking world after World War II. Hollingdale was an atheist.

Document 15: William Gilbert (astronomer): William Gilbert ( ; 24 May 1544 – 30 November 1603), also known as Gilberd, was an English physician, physicist and natural philosopher. He passionately rejected both the prevailing Aristotelian philosophy and the Scholastic method of university teaching. He is remembered today largely for his book "De Magnete" (1600), and is credited as one of the originators of the term "electricity". He is regarded by some as the father of electrical engineering or electricity and magnetism.
