German classical philosophy - the philosophy of the late 18th and the first third of the 19th century is represented by such prominent German philosophers like Kant, Hegel, Feuerbach, Schelling, who speculated about the meaning of life.German classical philosophy is a milestone in the development of philosophical thought and philosophy in general.This philosophy has continued and developed the idea of the New Age, who said humanism, faith unlimited power of human reason and individual rights.The most important finding of this philosophy is the philosophy of Hegel's dialectic, which justified the eternal development of the world.
German classical philosophy reflect both the formation and development of capitalist society and the reality of the historical features of Germany at that time.The bourgeoisie, whose ideology were all representatives of classical German philosophy, lagged far behind the European countries in socio-economic and political development.This was due to the fact that Germany until the end of the 18th century was not the whole state, and was divided into 300 different sovereign units, and some were very small.The capitalist market was in its infancy.
Welfare German bourgeoisie totally depended on the orders of the nobility and the Crown, supply the needs of the army.Dutifully trail behind the policy, she was weak and melancholic.What it is quite clearly reflected the German philosophy.
Representatives of classical philosophy in his writings speak directly about the dual nature of the bourgeoisie in Germany, its a compromise, and sometimes even contradictory.
German classical philosophy was significantly different from the philosophy of the rest of Europe.So in France, the works of the philosophers were burned, and philosophers themselves imprisoned in the Bastille.And in Germany, despite its criticality of the ruling authorities and the hostility of philosophical reasoning, philosophers calmly published his works that was not forbidden, taught in universities and recognized mentor youth in Germany.Although, in spite of their hostility to the government, they did not fight with her and her institutions.The idealist philosophers have seen that Germany is hopelessly lagging behind other developed countries, while remaining medieval in its ranks.
Researched Hegel's dialectical method can easily be used at any time against the ruling power.Radical professor at Berlin University and soon received.
Hegel is truly the biggest and important representative of German philosophy, he has developed a method based on the dialectic of idealism.He develops the idea of the world as a fundamental principle, which is also developing in a variety of phenomena of reality and the historical process.Gegel claims idea developed in three stages and each stage has its own shape.On this basis, Hegel's philosophy is divided into 3 sections: logic, philosophy of nature and philosophy of mind.
In philosophy, the spirit of Hegel examines culture and its value.And in it he considers the art as the embodiment of ideas into concrete and sensual images.The leading art form having ranked architecture.
German architecture of Gothic cathedrals has long been considered the incarnation of the German spirit.Although home to a Gothic Northern France, it spread quickly in Central Europe.
Cologne Cathedral is a creative reaction to the Germans in the French Gothic.If French Gothic cathedrals were built in the same style, with minor differences, the Cologne Cathedral is very different from all the others.Although much later than many of the findings have been applied in the construction of the cathedral, it was used in the new buildings of the Gothic style.
