Chapter 4 in Hermann Graßmann, 2009, pp 221-255 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Hermann Graßmann’s philosophical and methodological views were directly on the path his father had traced for him. His father had been influenced by Pestalozzi’s pedagogy, Leibniz’ combinatorial and synthetic approach, Kant’s constructive view of mathematics and the dialectics of Romantic philosophy of nature. Merged together, these were the elements of Justus Graßmann’s unique philosophical and mathematical position. These impulses — modified by Schleiermacher’s dialectics — also shaped Hermann Graßmann’s way of thinking.
