Eduard von Keyserling

Eduard von Keyserling was born in 1855 at Tels-Paddern Castle, in Courland, among the Baltic German nobility. He studied law at Dorpat from 1875 to 1877; expelled from his student corporation for a reason that remains obscure, he was shunned by his own people and left at twenty-three for Vienna, where he studied philosophy and art history. After managing his mother's estates, he settled in Munich with his sisters. Struck in 1897 by a serious disease of the spinal cord, he later lost his sight and dictated his books to his sisters. He died in Munich in 1918.
