BARDILI, CHRISTOPH GOTTFRIED. - German philosopher, b. at Blaubeuren in Württemberg on 18 May 1761, d. at Mergelstetten on 5 June 1808.

He wrote on philosophy and on the history of philosophy, but is known especially for his polemic against Kant in the work Grundriss der ersten Logik, gereinigt von den Irrthümern der bisherigen Logiken überhaupt, der Kantschen insbesondere; keine Kritik, sondern eine medicina mentis... (Stuttgart 1800).

B.'s doctrine is, according to Reinhold, a rational realism for which the principle of the world is objective thought, which however becomes subjective in us. The world is a manifestation of thought whose law is the principle of identity or of non-contradiction. This theory, which evidently foreshadows Hegelian panlogism, did not meet with the sympathies of Fichte and Schelling, who attacked it, while it pleased Reinhold, to whom our philosopher owes his fame.
