  ELIAS MAGNUS FRIES - LoveToKnow Article on ELIAS MAGNUS FRIES
Fries was admitted a member of the Swedish Royal Academy in 1847, and a foreign member of the Royal Society of London in 1875.
A second point in which Fries differed from Kant is the view taken as to the relation between immediate and mediate cognitions.
According to Fries, the understanding is purely the faculty of proof; It is in itself void; immediate certitude is the only source of knowledge.

 Jakob Friedrich Fries Biography / Biography of Jakob Friedrich Fries Biography
Jakob Friedrich Fries, born in Barby, Saxony, on Aug. 23, 1773, studied at Leipzig and Jena.
Fries was one of the links in a chain which gradually transformed psychology from metaphysics to empiricism, from philosophy to science.
Fries maintained that only that which is sense-perceived can be known and that the principles of reason are immediately known in consciousness.

 Jakob Friedrich Fries
Fries' most important contribution to the Kantian tradition is his theory of justification and the manner in which he addresses the paradoxes of Kant's Transcendental Deduction.
Because Fries thought that the empirical and a posteriori critique was psychological in nature, it became commonplace to accuse him of what was called "psychologism," which we may take to be the doctrine that human knowledge merely reflects the forms of the human mind, the structures that the human psyche imposes upon the world.
Fries was able to live out his life in such relatively agreeable circumstances, and he was eventually allowed to teach philosophy again (1838).

Moreover, as Fries saw it, the fact that introspection occasionally proved unreliable was no reason for rejecting it altogether as the central source of data in psychology.
Finally, Fries was convinced that psychology could be a proper natural science: it could be based on rational principles that were identified through a critical study of mental phenomena.
Of Fries' work, Herbart wrote that "if Kant were still alive and still possessed his former vigorous powers of thinking, no one would be better able to induce him to revise his system than Herr Fries" (quoted from Leary 1978: 117).

Fries wrote a book entitled, Reinhold, Fichte, and Schelling (1803) where he was very critical of all of the post-Kantians.
Fries thinks that these feelings that we have are independent of reason and understanding "Ahndung," or "intimation." Feelings (inkling, divination, presentiment) are intimations of the transcendent.
Fries was a follower of Kant, but not with the Idealism of Fichte, Schelling, and Hegel.

 The new "Friesian" philosophy: was Jacob Fries an Antisemite?
His address at the Wartburg festival was a typical example of romantic enthusiasm and obscurantism, and it was for this address that Hegel took him to task in the preface to the Philosophy of Right.
Fries also published a violent anti-semitic pamphlet, 'On the Danger Posed to the Welfare and Character of the German People by the Jews'.
This subjectivism, Hegel argues in the body of the Philosophy of Right, was responsible for the frame of mind of those who condoned the murder of Kotzebue because the assassin Sand had, after all, 'pure intentions', whatever the nature of his deeds.

 Why are Belgian chips/crisps called French fries? - FileFront Gaming Forums
They are called fries because they are fried in highly unhealthy faty oils that clog up people's arteries, eventually leading to heart disease and strokes.
The "History of the French Fry" [http://www.select-ware.com/fries/docs/history.html ] credits Thomas Jefferson with bringing the idea from France in the "late 1700s." From the descriptions of what George Crum did with the sliced potatoes, they must have been sliced across the narrow axis of the potato and fried.
His return of the original fried potatoes (whoever ordered them) was a "sarcastic reply" (Snack Food Association 1987) and that he had an "irascible nature" (Grib 1975) or was "a tough old codger who had once been an Indian trapper" (Barrett 1941, 186).

 AllRefer.com - Leonard Nelson (Philosophy, Biography) - Encyclopedia
On the faculty of the Univ. of GOttingen from 1909, he was interested in the use of critical method to establish a scientific foundation for philosophy and in the systematic development of philosophical ethics.
Nelson's work in the area of ethics proceeded from a faith in systematic, critical reasoning, on which the values of his system are based.
His concern with ethical standards and the question of how human freedom could be reconciled with natural necessity led him to practical undertakings, including the formation of his own political organization and his own school for political education.

Although originally having planned on entering the ministry, Otto's arrangements were forced to change due to staunch resistance from the ultraconservative German Lutheran Church and their hesitance to give him an appointment.
Otto was so taken with Fries that he helped to begin a Neo-Fresian movement within his academic circle and wrote one of his first books on the philosophy of Fries and Kant.
It was through this journey that he began to struggle with the theological problems of the presumed Christian superiority in the face of his growing knowledge of what we now refer to as the "world religions."

The deductive method can be presented as an analysis-synthesis scheme as it can be found, e.g., in the tradition of Kant, Jakob Friedrich Fries, and Leonard Nelson.
The scheme helps to explain Leibniz's and Wolff's striving for new knowledge with the help of an ars inveniendi whose most important techniques are combinatorics and syllogism, i.e.
It furthermore models the relation between the analytical, critical and regressive method and the synthetical, dogmatic and constructive method in Kant, Jakob Friedrich Fries and Leonard Nelson.

Either such move, however, cannot escape the original embarrassments of Rationalism, or avoid the devastation inflicted by the criticisms made by Hume and Kant.
Less conspicous historically was Jakob Fries, who could accept the proper meanings of "First Principle" and of synthetic propositions.
The Friesian theories of deduction and of non-intuitive immediate knowledge make it possible to preserve the advances of Hume and Kant without falling back into Rationalism or heading for the Nihilism (so different from Hume's Skepticism), relativism, scientism, pragmatism, etc., so conspicuous in the 20th century.

 History
There have been different lines of philosophical descent from Kant, and philosophical 'turns' - many away from some of his fundamental propositions.
The Society for the Furtherance of the Critical Philosophy (SFCP) was founded in 1940 on the ideas of Leonard Nelson (1882-1927), a Göttingen scholar who took up one line of Kant's philosophy which had been developed earlier, during the nineteenth century, by Jakob Friedrich Fries (1773-1843).
This Fries-Nelsonian tradition in German philosophy emphasises empirical and psychological aspects of rational philosophy and is deeply concerned with issues of ethics arising in actual everyday practice.

 The Proceedings of the Friesian School
These recent uses of "critical," meaning the dogmatic application of ideology rather than any genuinely critical attitude, are thus oxymoronic examples of Orwellian "double think," just as when terms like "people's republic" and "democratic republic" were used to mean, not popular sovereignty and responsible government, but totalitarian statism and dictatorship.
The original Abhandlungen der Fries'schen Schule were published by Jakob Fries's principal student, Ernst Friedrich Apelt, from 1847 until his death in 1859.
Scholarly work on Fries has grown in Germany, and successors to Nelson's Academy have continued activity with Socratic Method in Germany, the Netherlands, and England, but there remains little notice of this in America, in English language philosophy, or on the international stage.
