(It is believed to be impossible and, were it possible, to...)
It is believed to be impossible and, were it possible, to be undesirable to prevent an acquaintanceship with the modern speculative systems of Grermany. Although hitherto in a mutilated form, they have actually made their appearance in this country, and, if we mistake not, some of their principles may be discerned even in the views and mode of reasoning adopted by certain theological writers. Let them then be fully known, and that with all their consequences, let them be impartially examined and truthfully judged. The cause of truth has nothing to fear from such an inquiry. It has to fear the surreptitious spread of principles, which, though at first adopted in their isolation, stand connected with ah1 the rest in the totality of these systems, and frequently involve the most grievous consequences. It has therefore been not only to meet a literary requirement, but in the service of the truth, that this translation of a work was undertaken, which, however we refuse to identify ourselves with the views and speculations contained in it, is allowed on all hands to present a masterly, faithful, and perspicuous exposition of the views of Kant, Jacobi, Herbart, Fichte, Schleiermacher, Schelling, and Hegel.

philosopher university professor
He was born at Pfaffroda in Saxony.
In 1839 he became professor in Kiel University, where, with the exception of one brief interval, when he was expelled with several colleagues because of his German sympathies, he remained till his death. His first published work, Historische Entwicklung der spekulativen Philosophie von Kant bis Hegel (1837, 5th ed 1860), which still ranks among the best expositions of modern German thought, has been twice translated into English, by Alfred Tulk (London, 1854), and by Alfred Edersheim (Edinburgh, 1854). His chief works are Entwurf eines Systems der Wissenschaftslehre (Kiel, 1846) and System der spekulativen Ethik (2 vols, 1850).
His Wissenschaftslehre, accordingly, divides itself into
Principlehre, or theory of the one principle;
Vermittelungslehre, or theory of the means by which this principle realizes itself.
And
Teleologie. The most noticeable point is the position assigned by Chalybäus to the World Ether, which is defined as the infinite in time and space, and which, he thinks, must be posited as necessarily coexisting with the Infinite Spirit or God. The fundamental principle of the System der Ethik is carried out with great strength of thought, and with an unusually complete command of ethical material.
Foreign some years he taught at the knight academy in Dresden, and won a high reputation by his lectures on the history of philosophy in Germany.
(It is believed to be impossible and, were it possible, to...)
He opposed both the extreme realism of Herbart and what he regarded as the one-sided idealism of Hegel, and endeavoured to find a mean between them, to discover the ideal or formal principle which unfolds itself in the real or material world presented to lieutenant
