Heinrich Rickert
Heinrich John Rickert (/ˈrɪkərt/; German: [ˈʁɪkɐt]; 25 May 1863 – 25 July 1936) was a German philosopher, a leading neo-Kantian of the Baden school.
Rickert was born in Danzig, Prussia (now Gdańsk, Poland) to the journalist and later politician Heinrich Edwin Rickert and Annette née Stoddart. He was professor of philosophy at the University of Freiburg (1894–1915, succeeded by Edmund Husserl) and the University of Heidelberg (1915–1932, succeeding Wilhelm Windelband). He died in Heidelberg amid Nazi Germany.
Rickert is known for his discussion of a qualitative distinction between historical and scientific facts. Contrary to philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Henri Bergson, Rickert emphasized that values demand a distance from life and that what Bergon, Wilhelm Dilthey or Georg Simmel called "vital values" were not true values.[citation needed]
Rickert's philosophy was an important influence on the work of sociologist Max Weber, who borrowed much of his methodology, including the concept of the ideal type. Philosopher Martin Heidegger began his academic career as Rickert's assistant, graduating and writing his habilitation thesis under Rickert.
Charles R. Bambach writes:
In his work Rickert, like Dilthey, intended to offer a unifying theory of knowledge which, although accepting a division between science and history or Natur and Geist, overcame this division in a new philosophical method. For Dilthey the method was wedded to hermeneutics; for Rickert it was the transcendental method of Kant.
In addition, Rickert's Die Grenzen der naturwissenschaftlichen Begriffsbildung was cited by the Kantian scholar Lewis White Beck as a major source of inspiration during his early studies as an undergraduate with Leroy Loemker.
Rickert and Windelband led the Baden school of neo-Kantians.
