Talk:Johann Friedrich Herbart

phil of ed
The section on philosophy of education needs to define, not just list each of the five key ideas that composed Herbart's concept of individual maturation (Inner Freedom, Perfection, Benevolence, Justice, and Equity or Recompense). I do not know these definitions, so perhaps someone else can provide this insert. Jeff10706 (talk) 12:35, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Studying Categories
In the "Psychology" section, there is a subsection titled "Herbart's Concept of the Real." It contains the following statement: "Kant believed that we become knowledgeable through studying the innate categories of thought&hellip;." This is totally untrue. No one can study a Kantian Category [an a priori Concept of the Understanding]. A Kantian Category is merely a predicate that any phenomenal object in general must be said to have. In order for an appearance to be spoken of as being an object, the Kantian Categories must be attributed to the appearance.Lestrade (talk) 01:39, 14 August 2013 (UTC)Lestrade

Disagreement with Fichte
The "Life" section says that Herbart "came to disagree with his teacher Fichte precisely because Fichte had taught him to think in a logical manner". That doesn't look like the whole story: just being logical doesn't lead to disagreement unless the other is quite illogical. Herbart's learning to be logical many have emboldened him to express disagreement with his teacher. But on what did they, so logically, disagree? Wikiain (talk) 01:06, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
