Although Romanticism dominated the development of immediate post-Kantian thought (after Reinhold), there were other, equally important interpretations afoot of where to take Kant. By the turn of the century (1800), Jacobi's influence, always large in this period, had already led to another, very different, appropriation of Kant in the person of Jacob Friedrich Fries (1773–1843). About the same age as the other post-Kantians at Jena (Schelling, Hegel, Schleiermacher, Novalis, and Hölderlin), Fries only managed to formulate his own views about a decade later than those working in the aftermath of the initial tumult surrounding Fichte and the early Romantics. Like many of them (for example, Niethammer, Hölderlin, Schelling, Hegel, and Schleiermacher), he too had first studied theology before moving to philosophy. Having been raised and educated in a famous Pietist community of the Herrnhut (Moravian) Brethren, he was sent to a Pietist boarding school in Niesky for his adolescent years. In 1795, he went to Leipzig to study philosophy, where he apparently came under the influence of Jacobi's work; in 1797, he studied for a year in Jena, leaving for while to be a private tutor, only to return to Jena at the end of 1800 (around the same time Hegel arrived in Jena). After 1805, he and Jacobi became friends, and Jacobi remained an admirer of Fries's work.
