DEUSSEN, PAUL (1845-1919), German philosopher and Sanskrit scholar, was born at Oberdreis on Jan. 7, 1845. He taught at Berlin (1881-89), and then became professor of phi losophy in Kiel, where he died on July 7, 1919. As a philosopher, Deussen regarded the spatial world and objects as forms of the all-important empirical consciousness. The reality for him lay in a non-spatial, non-temporal and non-causal sphere to which we attain by moral activity rather than by intellect.
