CHALYBAUS, HEINRICH See also:MORITZ (1796-1862) , See also:German philosopher, was See also:born at Pfaffroda in See also:Saxony. For some years he taught at See also:Dresden, and won a high reputation by his lectures on the See also:history of See also:philosophy in See also:Germany. In 1839 he became See also:professor in See also:Kiel University, where, with the exception of one brief See also:interval, when he was expelled with several colleagues because of his German sympathies, he remained till his See also:death. His first published See also:work, Historische Entwickelung der spekulaliven Philosophie von See also:Kant bis See also:Hegel (1837, 5th ed. 1860), which still ranks among the best expositions of See also:modern German thought, has been twice translated into See also:English, by A. Tulk (See also:London, 1854), and by A. Edersheim (See also:Edinburgh, 1854). His See also:chief See also:works are Entwurf eines Systems der Wissenschaftslehre (Kiel, 1846) and See also:System der spekulativen Ethik (2 vols., 1850). He opposed both the extreme See also:realism of See also:Herbart and what he regarded as the one-sided See also:idealism of Hegel, and endeavoured to find a mean between them, to discover the ideal or formal principle which unfolds itself in the real or material See also:world presented to it. His Wissenschaftslehre, accordingly, divides itself into (1) Principlehre, or theory of the one principle; (2) Vermittelungslehre, or theory of the means by which this principle realizes itself; and (3) Teleologie. The most noticeable point is the position assigned by Chalybaus to the " World See also:Ether," which is defined as the See also:infinite in See also:time and space, and which, he thinks, must be posited as necessarily coexisting with the Infinite Spirit or See also:God. The fundamental principle of the System der Ethik is carried out with See also:great strength of thought, and with an unusually See also:complete command of ethical material.
