In the history of thought, Alf Ahlberg is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Alf Ahlberg as writer, humanist, philosopher (1892–1979).
Alf Ahlberg was born at Laholms församling in 1892. His recorded nationality is Sweden. He studied at Lund University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
His academic posts were held at Brunnsviks folkhögskola, Svenska Dagbladet and Södra Latin.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from Sweden matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Alf Ahlberg died in 1979, aged 87. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
