Though little known today, Johann Friedrich Herbart was one of the
leading philosophers of his age, the competitor of Schelling and
Hegel. Although he was trained by Fichte, Herbart soon became a
critic of the idealist tradition and developed a philosophy
antithetical to it. His own philosophy was opposed to the idealist
tradition in important respects: he defended a dualism between the
factual and normative; he was an ontological pluralist rather than
monist; and he accepted crucial Kantian dualisms that had been
rejected by the idealists. Herbart was also an important forerunner
of analytic philosophy, first in breaking with the idealist
tradition, and second in insisting that the proper method of
philosophy is the analysis of concepts rather than speculation
about the universe as a whole. In the first intellectual biography
of Herbart in English, Frederick C. Beiser studies the development
of one of 19th-century Germany's most important philosophers, from
his education in Oldenburg and Jena to his final years in
Goettingen.
