Frederik Christian Sibbern

F.C. Sibbern 1785-1872 was one of two philosophy professors at the University of Copenhagen when Kierkegaard was a student. He was inspired by Schelling while studying in Germany (and I suspect he got the idea of “objektivering” from him). Sibbern then became professor at U Copenhagen in 1813. In 1838, he published an anti-Hegelian tract Bemærkninger og Underssøgelser, fornemmelig betreffende Hegels Philosophie. Thus, Sibbern stands alongside Møller as the initial Danish resistance to German idealism, and the start of new way of thinking about philosophy, that culminates in Høffding’s “personlighedsfilosofi”.
