Siebeck was the son of the composer and music teacher Gustav Heinrich Gottfried Siebeck . He studied philology and philosophy in Leipzig and Berlin from 1860 to 1862 . In Leipzig he participated in the founding of the Christian fraternity of Alemannia in the winter semester of 1860/61 . In 1863 he received his doctorate as Dr. phil. on Aristotle and Herbart's psychology ( Aristoteles et Herbarti doctrine psychologicae quibus rebus inter se congruant ). He then worked as a high school teacher in Gera , Stargard and Halle . In 1872 he completed his habilitation in philosophy in Halle with the writing De doctrina idearum qualis est in Platonis Philebo . In 1875 he became a full professor in Basel.
