Georg Anton Friedrich Ast is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.
The record lists Georg Anton Friedrich Ast as German philosopher.
Georg Anton Friedrich Ast was born at Gotha in 1778. His recorded nationality is Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. He studied at University of Jena.
Enlightenment argument moved philosophy into public life: it was now about government, rights and religion as much as metaphysics.
His academic posts were held at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München.
The recorded fields of work are history of philosophy, classical philology and history.
A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.
That the work was done from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Georg Anton Friedrich Ast died in 1841, aged 63. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
