Scharnhorst would later employ the leading popularizer of the philosophy of Kant, Johann Gottfried Kiesewetter, to teach logic and mathematics at the school that would, in the fullness of time, become the famous Kriegsakademie at Berlin.

Rather than the structured and linear progression of academic education, deeply studying a part of a topic at a time, this approach prioritizes knowledge of the whole and the fit of the parts, rather than expertise in any individual piece.

Much better for application rather than fitting on a syllabus.

Has calmed the tempest in his soul.”
