Real philosophy
The term real philosophy goes back to Hegel . His Jena Realphilosophie from 1805/1806 contains lectures “on the philosophy of nature and spirit”. Hegel contrasts real philosophy with pure logic : real philosophy is therefore thinking on an empirical basis.
The philosopher Hegel deals in his real philosophy a. a. with phenomena of astronomy and biology . Compared to a natural philosophy , the real philosophy is distinguished by the fact that it also includes social and cultural phenomena. It thus includes both natural philosophy and cultural philosophy .
The term has recently experienced a renaissance. The publicist Gábor Paál points to parallels between the idea of a real philosophy and the claim of a " third culture " in science formulated by the American literary agent John Brockman .
