At the universities of Göttingen and Berlin, in addition to his philosophical education, he acquired a thorough education in the natural sciences and later informed himself in detail about all advances in the knowledge of nature. On the basis of these studies, he formed the opinion that natural science was moving in such a direction that it must one day arrive at the results that he himself had found through philosophical thinking. He attempted to provide proof of this in his work \"The Will in Nature\", published in 1836. All research into nature consists of two parts, the description of the forces of nature and the explanation of the laws of nature. The laws of nature, however, are nothing other than the rules that the imagination gives to phenomena. These laws can be explained because they are nothing but the forms of space, time and causality, which stem from the nature of the cognizing subject.The forces of nature cannot be explained, but only described as they present themselves to observation. If we follow the descriptions that natural scientists give of the forces of nature: gravity, magnetism, heat, electricity, etc., we see that these forces are nothing more than the forms of action of the will at various levels.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"6.

Er hat sich auf den Universitäten Göttingen und Berlin neben der philosophischen eine gründliche naturwissenschaftliche Bildung angeeignet und später sich über alle Fortschritte des Naturerkennens eingehend unterrichtet. Auf Grund dieser Studien bildete er sich die Anschauung, die Naturforschung bewege sich in einer solchen Richtung, daß sie einmal bei den Ergebnissen ankommen müsse, die er selbst durch philosophisches Denken gefunden hat. Den Beweis davon versuchte er in der 1836 erschienenen Schrift «Der Wille in der Natur» zu liefern. Alle Naturforschung setzt sich aus zwei Teilen zusammen, aus der Beschreibung der Naturkräfte und aus der Erklärung der Naturgesetze. Die Naturgesetze aber sind nichts anderes als die Vorschriften, die das Vorstellungsvermögen den Erscheinungen gibt. Diese Gesetze können erklärt werden, weil sie nichts sind als die Formen des Raumes, der Zeit und der Ursachlichkeit, die aus dem Wesen deserkennendenSubjektesstammen.DieNaturkräftekönnen nicht erklärt, sondern nur beschrieben werden, wie sie sich der Beobachtung darbieten.
