Its realization did not come about until 1841, when Schelling's appointment as Prussian privy councillor and member of the Berlin Academy, gave him the right, a right he was requested to exercise, to deliver lectures in the university.[29] Among those in attendance at his lectures were Søren Kierkegaard (who said Schelling talked "quite insufferable nonsense" and complained that he did not end his lectures on time),[30] Mikhail Bakunin (who called them "interesting but rather insignificant"), Jacob Burckhardt, Alexander von Humboldt[31][32] (who never accepted Schelling's natural philosophy),[33] and Friedrich Engels (who, as a partisan of Hegel, attended to "shield the great man's grave from abuse").[34] The opening lecture of his course was attended by a large and appreciative audience. ./cache/en-wikipedia-org-9951.html ./txt/en-wikipedia-org-9951.txt
