81-493: A doctrine peculiar to himself (though based upon Aristotle) that plays a central part in his speculations. Motion is the fundamental fact common to being and thought; the actual motion of the external world has its counterpart in the constructive motion involved in every instance of perception or thought. From motion he proceeds to deduce time, space and the categories of mechanics and natural science. These, being thus derived, are at once subjective and objective in their scope. It

108-623: A teacher, during the greater part of which time he had to examine in philosophy and pedagogics all candidates for the scholastic profession in Prussia. His teaching method was highly regarded by Søren Kierkegaard who called him "one of the most sober philosophical philologists I know." He was elected a Foreign Honorary Member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1861. Two of his prominent students were Franz Brentano and Wilhelm Dilthey . Trendelenburg's philosophizing

135-444: Is conditioned throughout by his loving study of Plato and Aristotle, whom he regards not as opponents but as building jointly on the broad basis of idealism . His own standpoint may be called a modern version of Aristotelianism .

189-419: Is true that matter can never be completely resolved into motion, but the irreducible remainder may be treated, like Aristotle, as an abstraction we asymptotically approach but never reach. The facts of existence, however, are not adequately explained by the mechanical categories. The ultimate interpretation of the universe can only be found in the higher category of End or final cause . Here Trendelenburg finds

378-585: The best ideas of Hellenic antiquity. In 1865 he became involved in an acrimonious controversy on the interpretation of Kant 's doctrine of space with Kuno Fischer , whom he attacked in Kuno Fischer und sein Kant (1869), which drew forth the reply Anti-Trendelenburg (1870). The controversy became known in the history of philosophy as the Fischer–Trendelenburg debate . Trendelenburg's position on

405-566: The debate (the position that "Kant may establish that space and time are a priori and intuitive conditions for experience in the " Transcendental Aesthetic ," but this in no way entails that space and time have nothing to do with the objects outside of possible experience") has been variously dubbed as "Neglected Alternative," "Trendelenburg's gap" [ die trendelenburgische Lücke ], "Pistorius's gap [ die pistorische Lücke ]" (named after Hermann Andreas Pistorius ), or "third possibility" [ die dritte Möglichkeit ]. His son, Friedrich Trendelenburg ,

432-413: The dividing line, between philosophical systems. On the one side stand those that acknowledge none but efficient causes, which make force prior to thought, and explain the universe, as it were, a tergo ("from the back"). This may be called, typically, Democritism . On the other side stands the organic or teleological view of the world, which interprets the parts through the idea of the whole, and sees in

459-459: The efficient causes only the vehicle of ideal ends. This may be called in a wide sense Platonism . Systems like Spinozism , which seem to form a third class, neither sacrificing force to thought nor thought to force, yet by their denial of final causes inevitably fall back into the Democritic or essentially materialistic standpoint, leaving us with the great antagonism of the mechanical and

486-439: The ideal as present in the real. The ethical end is taken to be the idea of humanity, not in the abstract as formulated by Immanuel Kant , but in the context of the state and of history. Law is treated throughout as the vehicle of ethical requirements. In Trendelenburg's treatment of the state , as the ethical organism in which the individual (the potential man) may be said first to emerge into actuality, we may trace his nurture on

513-402: The organic systems of philosophy. The latter view, which receives its first support in the facts of life, or organic nature as such, finds its culmination and ultimate verification in the ethical world, which essentially consists in the realization of ends . Trendelenburg's Naturrecht [the right of nature] may, therefore, be taken as in a manner the completion of his system, his working out of

540-484: The permanent results of historic developments. The classical expression of these results Trendelenburg finds mainly in the Platonico-Aristotelian system. The philosophical question is stated thus: How are thought and being united in knowledge? How does thought get at being? And how does being enter into thought? Proceeding on the principle that like can only be known by like, Trendelenburg next reaches

567-646: The second half of the twentieth century, independent research has become a central focus of the Academy. In the late 1950s, arms control emerged as one of its signature concerns.

594-613: The son of an intimate friend of Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein , the Prussian minister of education.

It was founded in 1780 during the American Revolution by John Adams , John Hancock , James Bowdoin , Andrew Oliver , and other Founding Fathers of

702-523: Was devoted to the demonstration of the ideal in the real . But he maintained that the procedure of philosophy must be analytic , rising from the particular facts to the universal in which we find them explained. We divine the system of the whole from the part we know, but the process of reconstruction must remain approximative. Our position forbids the possibility of a final system. Instead, therefore, of constantly beginning afresh in speculation, it should be our duty to attach ourselves to what may be considered

729-530: Was the first woman elected to the Academy, in 1848. The current membership encompasses over 5,700 members based across the United States and around the world. Academy members include more than 250 Nobel laureates and more than 60 Pulitzer Prize winners.
