Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka as American philosopher (1923–2014).
Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka was born at Marianowo, Gmina Szydłowo in 1923. Her recorded nationality is United States. She studied at Jagiellonian University and Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Krakow.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
Her academic posts were held at Pennsylvania State University, Oregon State University and St. John's University.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy and phenomenology.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from United States matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka died in 2014, aged 91. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
