ERDMANN, JOHANN EDUARD (1805-1892) , See also:German philosophical writer, was See also:born at Wolmar in See also:Livonia on the 13th of See also:June 18o5. He studied See also:theology at Dorpat and afterwards at See also:Berlin, where he See also:fell under the See also:influence of See also:Hegel. From 1829 to 1832 he was a See also:minister of See also:religion in his native See also:town. After-wards he devoted himself to See also:philosophy, and qualified in that subject at Berlin in 1834. In 1836 he was See also:professor-extraordinary at See also:Halle, became full professor in 1839, and died there on the 12th of June 1892. He published many philosophical See also:text-books and See also:treatises, and a number of sermons; but his See also:chief claim to remembrance rests on his elaborate Grundriss der Geschichte der Philosophie (2 vols., 1866), the 3rd edition of which has been translated into See also:English. Erdmann's See also:special merit is that he does not See also:rest content with being a See also:mere summarizer of opinions, but tries to exhibit the See also:history of human thought as a continuous and ever-developing effort to solve the See also:great speculative problems with which See also:man has been confronted in all ages. His chief other See also:works were: Leib and Seele (1837), Grundriss der Psychologie (184o), Grundriss der Logik and Metaphysik (1841), and Psychologische Briefe (1851).
