As a philosopher, psychologist, and physician, the German thinker
Hermann Lotze (1817-81) defies classification. Working in the
mid-nineteenth-century era of programmatic realism, he critically
reviewed and rearranged theories and concepts in books on
pathology, physiology, medical psychology, anthropology, history,
aesthetics, metaphysics, logic, and religion. Leading anatomists
and physiologists reworked his hypotheses about the central and
autonomic nervous systems. Dozens of fin-de-siecle philosophical
contemporaries emulated him, yet often without acknowledgment,
precisely because he had made conjecture and refutation into a
method. In spite of Lotze's status as a pivotal figure in
nineteenth-century intellectual thought, no complete treatment of
his work exists, and certainly no effort to take account of the
feminist secondary literature. Hermann Lotze: An Intellectual
Biography is the first full-length historical study of Lotze's
intellectual origins, scientific community, institutional context,
and worldwide reception.
