This chapter is an account of Cohen’s early education, from his primary school until his doctorate at the University of Berlin in 1865. Cohen first intended to be a rabbi and attended the rabbinical seminary in Breslau. A controversy there surrounding the liberal views of the new head of the seminar, Zacharias Frankel, propelled Cohen to abandon his rabbinical career. He then attended the University of Breslau and the University of Berlin, where he was supervised by Adolf Trendelenburg. Cohen’s dissertation anticipates important doctrines of his later philosophy, especially his Platonic idealism.
