Friedrich Albert Lange was educated at Duisburg, Zurich and Bonn, where he distinguished himself by gymnastics as much as by study.
Lange entered journalism as editor of the Rhein- und Ruhr-Zeitung in 1862. In 1866, discouraged by affairs in Germany, he moved to Winterthur, near Zürich, to become connected with the democratic newspaper, Winterthurer Landbote. In 1869 he was Privatdozent at Zürich, and the next year he was appointed professor of inductive philosophy, a new position.
