Fries, Jakob Friedrich

Born Aug. 23, 1773, in Barby, Saxony; died Aug. 10, 1843, in Jena. German idealist philosopher.

Fries became a professor in Jena in 1805, later taking a professorship in Heidelberg and returning to Jena in 1816. He was deprived of his professorship in Jena from 1818 to 1824 for having participated in the student movement. Fries interpreted the philosophy of I. Kant in the spirit of psychologism and held that the a priori elements of cognition could be established empirically. He regarded psychological “anthropology” as the basis of philosophy, and he viewed the world as an organism constructed according to the laws of mechanics and mathematics. Fries influenced L. Nelson, who founded the Neo-Friesian school.
