Biography

He was born at

moral philosophy at Berlin.[1]

He was the greatest of the pupils of

reasoning as to means. This conception of will, though consistent and convenient to the main thesis, must be rigidly distinguished from the ordinary significance of will, i.e. rational desire.[2][1]

Paulsen was a proponent of hylozoism, stating it is “a conception which almost irresistibly forces itself upon modern biology".[3]

Paulsen is almost better known for his educational writings than as a pure philosopher, including his German Education, Past and Present (Eng. trans., by I. Lorenz, 1907).[1]
