Destined to the theological career, Hegel entered
the Institute at Tubingen, which, with It's cloistral
arrangements, is too little known abroad. If ex-
tcrnal life was shackled, intellectual entirely
free.


Swdbian science is peculiarly theological, and
this IS consequence of the energetic studies OF
the cloister. The laws OF the seminary were
more than ever severe in the time oil Hegel.-
Thence the intimacy and spiritual contact betwiXt
individuals, different in character thence that re-
treat from the world in which the mind, reduced
to study, digs for itself so deep channel thence
that want Of social education, that rigidity OF mo
rails and manners. The traces OF this education
were visible even in the old age OF HcSel. Almost
nuIllty in the social world he retired 10 his study
when the spirit was stirred. He could not change
the gold Of his thought into current coin.


That aspect OF outward nature, under which
Hege passed his youth, has not been without IN
huence upon his education. The country of Tu-
bingen is one of the most characerstlcally marked
in all Germany. The environs Of the Neckar, the
view OF the Alps, and the vast fiowery PLAIN, never
fail 10 make profound impression on the heart OF
young man. Hegel, Schellins and Holderlin
were at the institute of Tubinsen at the same
time, and, with all three, the contemplation oi Ma
ture plays an important part. The language of
Hegel above all is purely emplatlve, even on
the most abstract subjects. Hegcl has worked
great deal by night. The Seminary occupies
point of view which produces magical elect,
when the country is seen by a fine moonlight AT
the foot OF the cloister flows the Neckar, With It's
mystic murmurs, which seem as II II bore along
in It's waves an eternal secret II dared not betray;
the sound of clocks and bells IS heard from all the
villages round about 10 a great distance, on the
horizon is discerned the crown oi the blue Alps,
in the midst is the PLAIN enamclled with flowers
and fruit trees. The landscape has melancholy
air it seems like garden OF roses in tae midst OF
a cemetery lIegel certainly saw all this when
he wrote his Phcnomenolcsy. This mysterious
aspect of nature combines we'll with The character
stic traits of the people of Wurlembers. Severe
in lis Professionalism il swarms with sects, mystl-
cal, theological, religious In each peasant OF old
Swabn, who reads his Bible, YOU find something
of the Jacob Bchmen. This marks the difference
between the Gnostc and Theosophlc philosophers,
such as Hegel and Schelling, from the philosophers
of the North such as Kant, Fichte and Herbert -
While Herbart points out the abyss winch separa-
rate philosophy from theology, Hesel and Schel-


ling create the philosophy of religions. Abso-
lutte reason DESTROYS the barrier between the divine
being and the human In Aesel nature had united
what she usually separates, analytic reason, and
synthetic contemplation. Hegel
studied Aristotle in an old worm-caten cory, While
Schelling studied the Gnostlcs. Ii may thus be
seen that their several tendencies were manifest
in their earliest studies.


When Hesel entered the Seminary IN l1SS,
was in It's flower The most celebrated UNIVERSE
ties Of Germany recruited there for professors of
Theology, Storr, Plank, Flat, Raunlus, Siaudln;
Splitter, the historian, Reas, librarian, Comfy,
phiologist, Warm, astronomer, Bardili, phlioso-
pher, and Reinhard, who died peer OF France,
had been there. Several of these were afterward
the ornament OF Inc georgia Augusta VI pot'i"-
gen. There were five classes or grades IN the
seminary. In the same class with Hcgei were the
,heoogian Benzel the astronomer olofi, the hlsto-
rian Pis,er. the mathematician Hauber, the poet
Neufier, the philosophers Schelling and Rictha-
mer, asd the friend Of Hegel, the unhappy Holder
lin. Hesel and Hoderlin, whatever scientific dis
,incticns separated them were united by their love
for Greece II the heart OF HoldcIlin uttered cries

while he dreamed of the poplars Of llyssus, the
momonton of Sunium, the ravlnes OF Tayge,us.
Hegcl on his side became all glowing when he
spoke Of her constitution, her liberty and her a.,s
No one has spoken better of 'Antgone, he has
given new life TO Aristotle and the Greek tragedy,
and her institutions have been before his mind as
he wrote OF eqaiy.

vent: they do not know which his chamber was, but
only that, at schellinss desire, he lived with him
