Karl Robert Eduard von Hartmann (February 23, 1842 – June 5, 1906), was a German philosopher, best-known for his The Philosophy of the Unconscious (1869) which endeavoured to bring pessimism into harmony with idealism.
Biography
He was born in Berlin, and educated with the intention of a military career. He entered the artillery of the Guards as an officer in 1860, but was forced to leave in 1865 because of a knee problem. After some hesitation between music and philosophy, he decided to make the latter his profession, and in 1867 obtained a Ph. D. from the University of Rostock. He subsequently returned to Berlin, and died at Grosslichterfelde.
