Life

Ueberweg was born the son of the Lutheran pastor Gottlieb Friedrich Ueberweg. After attending grammar schools in Düsseldorf and Elberfeld , he studied at the universities in Göttingen and especially in Berlin . In 1850 he received his doctorate from the University of Halle . After working as a grammar school teacher in Dresden , Duisburg and Elberfeld , he completed his habilitation in Bonn in 1852 and taught philosophy there as a private lecturer before he was appointed associate professor at the University of Königsberg in 1862 . In 1868 he was appointed full professor there.

He fought against the subjectivism of the Kantian philosophy and advocated the ideal realism of Schleiermacher and Trendelenburg , which he mainly represented in his "System of Logic". For him the highest peak of human knowledge was the idea of a world soul .
