SIGWART, CHRISTOPH WILHELM VON (1789-1844) , See also:German philosopher, was See also:born at Remmingsheim in See also:Wurttemberg, and died in See also:Stuttgart. He became See also:professor of See also:philosophy at See also:Tubingen, and wrote numerous books on the See also:history of philosophy:—Uber den Zusammenhang See also:des Spinozismus mit der Cartesianischen Philosophic (1816) ; Handbuch zu Vorlesungen fiber See also:die Logik (1818, 3rd ed., 1835); Der Spinozismus (1839); and Geschichte der Philosophic (1844). His son, CHRISTOPH VON SIGWART (1830-1894), after a course of philosophy and See also:theology, became professor at See also:Blaubeuren (18J9), and eventually at Tubingen, in 1865. His See also:principal See also:work, Logik, published in 1873, takes an important See also:place among See also:recent contributions to logical theory. In the See also:preface to the first edition, Sigwart explains that he makes no See also:attempt to appreciate the logical theories of his predecessors; his intention was to construct a theory of See also:logic, See also:complete in itself. It re-presents the results of a See also:long and careful study not only of German but also of See also:English logicians. In 1895 an English See also:translation by See also:Miss H. Dendy was published in See also:London. See also:Chapter v. of the second See also:volume is especially interesting to English thinkers as containing a profound examination of the See also:Induction theories of See also:Bacon, J. S. See also:Mill and See also:Hume. Among his other See also:works are Spinozas neu entdeckter Traktat von Gott, dem Menschen and dessen Gliickscligkeit (1866); Kleine Salmi/ten (1881); Vorfragen der Ethik (1886).

The Kleine Schriften contains valuable criticisms on See also:

Paracelsus and See also:Bruno.
