Trendelenburg
FRIED.
RICH ADOLF, a German philosopher; born in Eutin, Germany, Nov. 30, 1802.
He set forth the ethical aspect of his TRENDELENBURG philosophy in the treatise "The Ethical Idea of Right and Law," and the æsthetic aspect in "Niobe" (1846) and "The Cathedral of Cologne" (1853). He wrote also "Natural Justice on the Ground of Ethics" (2d ed. 1860). His principal claim to distinction as a thinker rests on his acute criticism of the systems of Kant and Hegel. He died in Berlin, Jan. 24, 1872.
