UEBERWEG, See also:FRIEDRICH (1826-1871) , See also:German historian of See also:philosophy, was See also:born on the 22nd of See also:January 1826 at Leichlingen, in Rhenish See also:Prussia, where his See also:father was Lutheran pastor. Educated at See also:Gottingen and See also:Berlin, he qualified him-self at See also:Bonn as Privatdozent in philosophy (1852). In 1862 he was called to See also:Konigsberg as extraordinary See also:professor, and in 1867 he was advanced to the See also:ordinary grade. He married in 1863, and died on the 9th of See also:June 1871. His compendious See also:History of Philosophy is remarkable for fullness of See also:information, conciseness, accuracy and impartiality. At first he followed See also:Beneke's See also:empiricism, and strongly opposed the subjectivistic tendency of the Kantian See also:system, maintaining in particular the objectivity of space and See also:time, which involved him in a somewhat violent controversy. His own mode of thought he preferred later to describe as an ideal See also:realism, which refused to reduce reality to thought, but asserted a See also:parallelism between the forms of existence and the forms of knowledge. Beneke and See also:Schleiermacher exercised most See also:influence upon the development of his thought. See also:WORKs.—System der Logik (1857; 5th ed., 1882; Eng. trans. of 3rd ed. by T. M.
