After that he was initially without a permanent position. In 1898, Raoul Richter completed his habilitation, again in Leipzig, with a thesis on Spinoza's concept of will . In the winter semester of 1898/1899 he began to teach history of philosophy and practical philosophy at the same place.
Richter was one of the first to strive for the work of Friedrich Nietzsche . Right from the start, Richter was one of the critical friends and from 1908 on the board of directors of the Nietzsche Archive Foundation . Richter initiated this connection to Naumburg and Weimar as early as 1895. Johannes Volkelt and Wilhelm Wundt tried to promote Raoul Richter to a professorship. On September 22, 1904, Richter was finally made an extra-budgetary, extraordinary professor at the Philosophical Faculty in Leipzig due to his scientific achievements. Around 1910 a long-standing illness broke out again, so that Richter was forced to give up his apprenticeship.
