Rationalist Of History: This view of the world as a completely rational system was developed with unexampled thoroughness by Hegel, who is the outstanding rationalist of history. His model in explaining the world, however, is not a mathematical system but an organism or a mind, whose parts are so related that none of them can be understood except through their relation to the whole.By the end of the 17th century, reaction against scholastic philosophy had generated two opposing standpoints that were to be crucial in the progress of grammar. These can be called the positivist-empiricist position—associated with Francis Bacon, John Locke, and Sir Isaac Newton —and the rationalist position—associated with Rene Descartes and some of his followers.
His History of Ionian Philosophy(1821) ; History of the Pythagorean Philosophy (1826), and Notes on the Philosophy of the Megarean School in the Rheinisches Museum, are models of historical investigation on the principles of Schleiermacher. His historical masterpiece is the History of Philosophy (1829-53), which deals with general history up to the time of Kant. It was supplemented by a Review of the History of German Philosophy from the Time of Kant (1853). |
