During fe or of philosophy at Heidelberg 1816-18; and succeeded Fichte at Berlin in 1818. His philosophical system was during the second quarter of the 19th century the leading system of metaphysical thought in Germany. It purports to be a complete philosophy, undertaking to explain the whole universe of thought and being in its abstractest elements and minutest details. This it does by means of the Hegelian dialectic, a new logic, the real law of the movement of thought (not a mere form, like syllogistic), the scheme of which is thesis, antithesis, synthesis, the original tendency, the opposing tendency, and their unification in a new movement. By this law the conceptions of logic develop themselves in a long series. This law of the development of thought is a umed to be nece arily the law of the development of being, on the ground that thought and being are absolutely identical. Hegelianism is radically hostile to natural science, and especially to the Newton i an philosophy - that is, to all the methods and scientific results which have sprung from the “Prin 16th century received the architectural development which, despite disaster, makes it still one of the richest productions of the German Renai ance. In 1689 and 1693 it was ruined by the generals of Louis XIV., but was subsequently restored. It was finally destroyed by fire from a lightning-stroke in 1764. The ruins are the most imposing in Germany. The picturesque outer walls and towers, now broken and ivy-clad, inclose a large area; but the chief architectural attractions are grouped about the inner court. The Otto Heinrichs Bau, dating from 1556, is the finest example of the early German Renai ance. It consists at present of 3 stories above the basement, with engaged columns and entablatures, and continuous ranges of ornate windows with central mullion. The doorway, surmounted by armorial bearings, is very richly treated: its two entablatures are supported by atlantes and caryatids. The Friedrichs Bau, of 1601, is a good example of late Renai ance work: it has 4 stories - Doric, Tuscan, Ionic, and Corinthian - with statues of emperors and electors in niches. This building is now in part restored as a museum. The university, founded by the elector Rupert I. in 1386, is the oldest in the present German Empire. From 1556 it came under the control of the leaders of the Reformation. The library was plundered and sent to Rome in 1623, and partially returned in 1816: it now consists of over 400,000 volumes. The university was reorganized by the elector Charles Frederick of Baden in 1803. Heidelberg was the capital of the Palatinate from IMG:content-0585.png:[blocks in formation] Heidenheim (hi'den-him).
