Studying Philosophy at the University.

About the Method (Lehrart) in Schelling and the plan (Plan) in Fichte

Abstract

Contradictory opinions about the teaching of philosophy are attributed to Kant and Hegel: to Kant, that philosophy cannot be taught, that only philosophizing can be taught; to Hegel, that teaching philosophizing must necessarily be teaching philosophy. I argue that the contradiction is apparent. I argue specifically that what Schelling and Fichte thought about philosophy as both science and art and about its teaching at universities supports that Hegel’s claim is not necessarily at odds with Kant’s.
