A German philosopher; born at Bautzen, Saxony, May 21. 1817; died in Berlin, July 1, 1881. Having graduated in medical science and philosophy at Leipsic, he was appointed professor of mental philosophy there (1843), and in 1844 accepted a call to Gottingen. He ranks among the first of metaphysicians, and has given impulse to the recent development of physiological psychology. Among his numerous works the most important are: "Metaphysics" (1841); "Logic" (1843); "Microcosmos of Philosophie" (3 vols., 1856-64); "History of Aesthetics in Germany" (1868), several of which have been translated into English.
