Hans-Joachim Niemann

German philosopher

Hans-Joachim Niemann wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Hans-Joachim Niemann as German philosopher.

Hans-Joachim Niemann was born at Kiel in 1941. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at University of Tübingen.

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 University of Bamberg, University of Passau and Siemens.

Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.

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