Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz

German philosopher, linguist and political scientist

Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz belongs to the philosophical record as a figure whose arguments outlasted the disputes that prompted them.

The record lists Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz as German philosopher, linguist and political scientist.

Hanna-Barbara Gerl-Falkovitz was born at Kulmain in 1945. Her recorded nationality is Germany. She studied at Munich School of Philosophy.

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 University of Tübingen, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München and TU Dresden.

The recorded fields of work are philosophy and political science.

Philosophy advances by objection: an argument matters if serious people spend years attacking it.

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