## Bio

Johann Friedrich Herbart was born on 4 May 1776 in Germany, into a world where Kant's ideas still echoed and philosophy was splitting into factions. He became a philosopher and psychologist, but his sharpest break was with method: while Hegel built vast dialectical systems, Herbart moved the other direction—especially in aesthetics, where he staked out ground that made him Hegel's greatest contrast among the post-Kantians. What lasted, though, was pedagogy. He founded it as an academic discipline, a field with its own logic, and the approach took his name: Herbartianism. He died on 14 August 1841, having given teachers something they'd never quite had before—a framework that could be taught back.
