In Breslau he did his doctorate with Clemens Baeumker with a thesis on "Aristotelian elements in the psychology of Albert the Great ". He followed Baeumker to Bonn and completed his habilitation there in 1902 on the subject of "The Augustinian tradition in the teaching of the matter with Albert the Great". The trial lecture on July 23, 1902 had the topic "The position of the Christian scholastics in relation to the doctrine of the intellect represented by the Arabs". In 1903 he moved to Munich, where he partly represented the philosopher and politician Georg von Hertling and in 1908 became a non-civil servant ao. Professor was appointed. In 1911 he followed a call to Freiburg as full professor. Here he supervised Martin Heidegger's dissertation . Schneider's conservative Catholic world view is evident in the work “The philosophical foundations of monistic world views”, in which Schneider carried out a criticism of materialism and social democracy. As early as 1913 he moved to Strasbourg as Baeumker's successor, where he lost his position as a result of the First World War . In 1919 he received a non-regular position in Frankfurt, from where he went to Cologne in 1921 as the successor to Hans Driesch .

Within the Nazi teachers' association, he was temporarily in charge of the Office for Education and Teaching for the Gau Cologne from 1933-34.
