Fredrich Dreschler is a Hallevoric philosopher, economist, and historian. He is considered one of the most important figures in the history of Hallevoric philosophy and the Pragmatist Movement. Although in recent years interest in Dreschler's work has centred on his philosophical writing, it was as a historian that he first gained notoriety. His The History of Hallevor has been the standard work on Hallevor's history for ten or twenty years.
Scholars predominantly see Dreschlerean philosophy as a form of deep skepticism, but others argue naturalism is equally central to his thought. Dreschlerean scholarship has tended to oscillate between those who emphasize the scientific component (such as Logical positivism), and those who emphasize the Philosophic component (such as Utilitarianism).
Dreschler was heavily influenced by John Locke and John Stuart Mill, along with scientists and writers such as Bertrand Russell, Richard Dawkins, and Charles Darwin.
