REINHOLD, KARL LEONHARD (1758-1823)

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 57 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REINHOLD, KARL LEONHARD (1758-1823) , German philosopher, was born at Vienna. At the age of fourteen he entered the Jesuit college of St Anna, on the dissolution of which (1774) he joined a similar college of the order of St Barnabas. Finding himself out of sympathy with monastic life, he fled in 1783 to North Germany, and settled in
Weimar
 , where he became Wieland's collaborateur on the German Mercury, and eventually his son-in-law. In the German Mercury he published, in the years 178687, his Briefe fiber die Kantische Philosophic, which were most important in making Kant known to a wider circle of readers. As a result of the Letters,
Reinhold
  received a
call
  to the university of Jena, where he taught from 1787 to 1794. In 1789 he published his
chief
 
work
 , the Versuch einer neuen Theorie des menschlichen Vorstellungsvermogens, in which he attempted to simplify the Kantian theory and make it more of a unity. In 1794 he accepted a
call
  to Kid, where he taught till his death in 1823, but his independent activity was at an end. In later life he was powerfully influenced by Fichte, and subsequently, on grounds of religious feeling, by Jacobi and Bardili. His historical importance belongs entirely to his earlier activity. The development of the Kantian standpoint contained in the " New Theory of Human Understanding " (1789), and in the Fundament des philosophischen Wissens (1791), was called by its author Elementarphilosophie.
"
Reinhold
 
lays
  greater emphasis than Kant upon the unity and activity of consciousness. The principle of consciousness tells us that every
idea
  is related both to an object and a subject, and ie partly to be distinguished, partly united to both. Since form cannot produce matter nor subject object, we are forced to assume a thin-in-itself. But this is a notion which is self-contradictory if consciousness be essentially a relating activity. There is there-
fort something which must be thought and yet cannot be thought" (Hoffding, History of Modern Philosophy, Eng. trans., vol. ii.).

Leipzig
 , 1890) ; J. E. Erdmann, Grundriss der Geschichte der Philosophie (Berlin, 1866) ; histories of philosophy by R. Folckenberg and W. Windelband.
