A German philosopher; born at Berlin, Feb. 23, 1842. At 22 he chose for his life vocation "thinking", or philosophy, and on his retirement from the Prussian military service (1865), devoted himself wholly for some years to writing his great work "The Philosophy of the Unconscious" (1868; 10th ed., 3 vols., 1890); in the later editions of this work are incorporated his "Physiology of the Nerve-Centres" (1876); "The Truth and the Error in Darwinism" (1875); and "The Unconscious from the Standpoint of Physiology and the Doctrine of Descent" (1872). Then followed "The Ethical Consciousness", or as it was at first entitled, "Phenomenology of the Ethical Consciousness" (1879); "The Philosophy of Religion" (2d ed. 1888), comprising "The Religious Consciousness of Mankind" and "The Religion of the Soul"; "Aesthetics" (2 vols., 1886-87), comprising "German Aesthetics since Kant" and "The philosophy of the Beautiful". Besides these works, which constitute his exposition of a system of philosophy, he has written: "On the Dialectic Method" (1868); "The Thing in Itself and its Nature" (1871); "Critical Grounds of Transcendental Realism" (3d ed. 1885); "Elucidations of the Metaphysics of the Unconscious" (1874), afterwards styled "New-Kantianism, Schopenhauerism, and Hegelianism"; "Self-Destruction of Christianity, and the Religion of the Future" (3d ed. 1888); "The Crisis of Christianity in Modern Theology" (1880); "Judaism in the Present and the Future" (1885); "Lotze's Philosophy" (1888); "The Ghost-Theory in Spiritism" (1891); "The Fundamental Social Questions" (1894); "Shelling's Philosophical System" (1897); "History of Metaphysics" (1900); "The Problem of Life" (1906).
