The German philosopher and historian of philosophy Wilhelm Windelband was born in Potsdam and educated at Jena, Berlin, and Gottingen. He taught philosophy at Zurich, Freiburg im Breisgau, Strasbourg, and Heidelberg. He was a disciple of Rudolf Hermann Lotze and Kuno Fischer and was the leader of the so-called southwestern German (or Baden) school of neo-Kantianism. He is best known for his work in history of philosophy, to which he brought a new mode of exposition -- the organization of the subject by problems rather than by chronological sequence of individual thinkers. As a systematic philosopher he is remembered for his attempt to extend the principles of Kantian criticism to the historical sciences, his attempt to liberate philosophy from identification with any specific scientific discipline, and his sympathetic appreciation of late nineteenth-century philosophy of value. Windelband believed that whereas the various sciences (mathematical, natural, and historical) have specific objects and limit their investigations to determined areas of the total reality, philosophy finds its unique object in the knowledge of reality provided by these various disciplines taken together as a whole. The task of philosophy, he held, was to explicate the a priori bases of science in general. The aim of philosophy was to show not how science is possible but why there are many different kinds of science; the relationships that obtain between these various sciences; and the nature of the relation between the critical intelligence -- the knowing, willing, and feeling subject -- and consciousness in general.

Three tasks direct the author's work: to establish from available sources the circumstances in life, the mental development, and the doctrines of individual philosophers; to reconstruct from these facts the "genetic" process, so that the effect of these factors upon each philosopher's doctrine can be determined; to determine the overall value in the history of philosophy of the doctrines considering their origin.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1907 edition. Excerpt: ... APPENDIX. P. 12. Line 15. Add: -- On the pragmatic factor, cf. C. Herrmann, Der pragmatische Zusammenhang in der Geschichte der PMlosophie (Dresden, 18tJ3). P. 12. Line 10 from foot of the text. Add as foot-note, affixed to the word "positive " -- A similar, but quite mistaken attempt has been recently made in this direction by Fr. Brentano, Die vier Phasen in der Philosophie und ihr gegenwartiger Stand (Vienna, 1895). Here belong also the analogies, always more or less artificial, which have been attempted between the course of development in the ancient and that in the modern philosophy. Cf. e.g. v. Reichlin-Meldegg, Der Parallelismus der alien und neueren Philosophie (Leips. and Heidelb. 1865), P. 16. Line 6 from foot of text, add: -- In all previous expositions of the history of philosophy, whether upon a larger or smaller scale, a chronological arrangement has been adopted, following the order and succession of the more important philosophies and schools. These various arrangements have differed only in details, and these not always important. Among the most recent might be named in addition, that of J. Bergmann, whose treatment shows taste and insight (2 vols., Berlin, 1892). A treatment marked by originality and fineness of thought, in which the usual scheme has been happily broken through by emphasis upon the great movements and interrelations of the world's history, is presented by B. Eucken, Die Lebensanschauungen der grossen Denker (2d ed., Leips. 1898). P. 23. To the foot-note, add: -- Windischmann, earlier (Die Philosophie im Fortgang der Weltgeschichte, Bonn, 1827-1834), and recently P. Deussen (Allgemeine Geschiehte der Philosophie, I. 1, Leips. 1894) have made a beginning toward the work of relating this Oriental thought...
