Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze

German philosopher (1885-1969)

Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze as German philosopher (1885-1969).

Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze was born at Görlitz in 1885. His recorded nationality is Germany.

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

His academic posts were held at University of Münster, Frederick William University Berlin and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.

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

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

Friedrich Siegmund-Schultze died in 1969, aged 84. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
