Dühring

Dühring was a German philosopher and critic known for his opposition to scientific materialism and his advocacy of idealism. He argued that reality is fundamentally shaped by mental and philosophical principles rather than solely by physical matter. Dühring promoted a systematic, logical approach to philosophy, emphasizing the importance of ideas and reasoning over empirical science. His work aimed to develop a comprehensive philosophical framework that integrates ethics, science, and metaphysics, challenging views he saw as overly reductionist. While influential in his time, his ideas faced significant criticism and are considered part of broader philosophical debates about the nature of reality and knowledge.
