EDUARD See also:ZELLER (1814-1908) , See also:German philosopher, was See also:born at Kleinbottwar in See also:Wurttemberg on the 22nd of See also:January 1814, and educated at the university of See also:Tubingen and under the See also:influence of See also:Hegel . In 184o he was Privatdozent of See also:theology at Tubingen, in 1847 See also:professor of theology at See also:Bern, in 1849 professor of theology at See also:Marburg, migrating soon after-wards to the See also:faculty of See also:philosophy as the result of disputes with the Clerical party . He became professor of philosophy at See also:Heidelberg in 1862, removed to See also:Berlin in 1872, and retired in 1895 . His See also:great See also:work is his Philosophie der Griechen (1844–52) . This See also:book he continued to amplify and improve in the See also:light of further See also:research; the last edition appeared in 1902 . It has been translated into most of the See also:European See also:languages and became the recognized See also:text-book of See also:Greek philosophy . He wrote also on theology, and published three volumes of philosophical essays . He was also one of the founders of the Theologische Jahrbiicher, a periodical which acquired great importance as the exponent of the See also:historical method of See also:David See also:Strauss and See also:Christian See also:Baur . Like most of his contemporaries he began with Hegelianism, but subsequently he See also:developed a See also:system on his own lines . He saw the See also:necessity of going back to See also:Kant in the sense of demanding a See also:critical reconsideration of the epistemological problems which Kant had made but a partially successful See also:attempt to solve . None the less his merits as an See also:original thinker are far outshone by his splendid services to the See also:history of philosophy . It is true that his view of Greekthought is somewhat warped by Hegelian formalism .
He is not alive enough to the very intimate relation which thought holds to See also:national See also:life and to the See also:idiosyncrasy of the thinker
.
He See also:lays too much stress upon the " concept," and explains too much by the Hegelian See also:antithesis of subjective and See also:objective
.
Nevertheless his history of Greek philosophy remains a See also:noble See also:monument of solid learning informed with natural sagacity
.
He received the highest recognition, not only from philosophers and learned See also:societies all over the See also:world, but also from the See also:emperor and the German See also:people
.
In 1894 the Emperor See also: J . Reichel, Socrates and the Socratic See also:Schools (1868; 2nd ed . 1877); S . F . Alleyne and A .
