History
Harald Høffding (11 March 1843 - 2 July 1931) was a Danish philosopher and theologian.
Born and educated in Copenhagen, he became a schoolmaster, and ultimately in 1883 a professor at the University of Copenhagen. He was strongly influenced by Søren Kierkegaard in his early development, but later became a positivist, retaining and combining with it the spirit and method of practical psychology and the critical school.
The physicist Niels Bohr studied philosophy from and became a friend of Høffding.
Høffding died in Copenhagen.
