Waldemar von Broten

Waldemar von Broten  (-1859) was a Bavarian nobleman and philosopher. In youth he was regarded as a prodigy for his knowledge on the myths and philosophy of Krim.

He continued his works in adulthood, but focused on the duality of logik and un-logik. He was fascinated by the two opposing forces, in which he found a strange beauty. He worked together with G.W.F. Hegel on several ideas where the dualism is overcome. This highly controversial, but influential, work has been criticised and dismissed by many later scholars, some even claim that they were influenced and pressured by the Nerich family.
