Talk:1911 Encyclopædia Britannica/Bardili, Christoph Gottfried

Recent research, particularly by Martin Bondeli, has successfully proven that through the work of Carl Leonhard Reinhold, who began to be a disciple of Bardili in 1799, Bardili had significant influence on German Idealism, particularly on Hegel. Although Hegel collaborated with Schelling in editing the Kritische Journal für Philosophie, in which he, e.g. in his Differenzschrift, criticized both Reinhold and Bardili in the way dominant at least since Fichte's Bardili Review of 1800, he nonetheless has become far more dependent on the longest period of Reinhold's thought, his "Bardili phase". Fichte's Bardili review, we now know, inappropiately read into Bardili and Reinhold the latter's "formulary method" which Reinhold had earlier proposed in the period of his Elementary Philosophy. German Idealism studies are beginning to reevaluate that still dominant judgment. Hegel, although advocating in his Differenzschrift that even today still dominant view of both Bardili and Reinhold, has silently, without acknowledging this in his earlier Jena writings, appropriated the thought of the Bardilian Reinhold. Hegel did acknowledge this in his later writings.
