In the history of thought, Grigory Pomerants is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Grigory Pomerants as Russian philosopher, cultural theorist, and Soviet dissident (1918–2013).
Grigory Pomerants was born at Vilnius in 1918. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Moscow Institute of Philosophy, Literature, and History.
Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.
His academic posts were held at Institute of Scientific Information on Social Sciences.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
Recognition followed: Medal "For the Victory over Germany in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945", Order of the Patriotic War, 2nd class, Bjørnson Prize (2009) and Order of the Red Star.
That the work was done from Russia matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Grigory Pomerants died in 2013, aged 95. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
