Paul Haeberlin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Haeberlin (1878-1960) was a philosopher who at different times in his career took the standpoint that either religion or theoretical knowledge was the answer to human problems. He always gave philosophy an important role, but religion was to him the only way man could understand his real position in existence. Haeberlin made contributions to characterology and psychotherapeutics, and was especially successful in treating psychopathic youth and teens. Made a full professor of philosophy, psychology and pedagogics at the University of Basel. Haeberlin's principle works were; The Object of Psychology (1921), Aesthetics (1929), The Essence of Philosophy (1934), and Possibilities and Limits of Education (1936).
