Christoph von Sigwart belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.
The record lists Christoph von Sigwart as German philosopher (1830–1904).
Christoph von Sigwart was born at Tübingen in 1830. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Württemberg. He studied at University of Tübingen.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
His academic posts were held at University of Tübingen.
Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.
Recognition followed: Order of the Crown (1875).
That the work was done from Kingdom of Württemberg matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Christoph von Sigwart died in 1905, aged 75. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
