Aloys Fischer

German philosopher, educationist, psychologist and sociologist (1880-1937)

Aloys Fischer is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Aloys Fischer as German philosopher, educationist, psychologist and sociologist (1880-1937).

Aloys Fischer was born at Furth im Wald in 1880. His recorded nationality is German Reich. He studied at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.

Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

That the work was done from German Reich matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.

Aloys Fischer died in 1937, aged 57. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
