Talk:Friedrich Paulsen

Was Paulsen an actual pupil of Fechner?
The article states Paulsen "was the greatest of the pupils of Gustav Theodor Fechner". But at the time Paulsen was anyone's pupil, Fechner was at Leipzig University. The article states Paulsen, "was ... educated at Erlangen, Bonn and Berlin", omitting Leipzig.

I checked the German Wikipedia page for Paulsen. It does not mention Fechner. It states (Deepl translation), "After three semesters he [Paulsen] changed to philosophy at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-University in Berlin. He successfully completed his studies in 1871 with his dissertation under Friedrich Adolf Trendelenburg on the form and method of Aristotelian ethics". He then went to a professorship in Berlin.

I think that the author of whatever source has been copied (but not cited) to show that Paulsen was a pupil of Fechner was using it in a figurative, rather than in a literal, sense.
