Heinrich Scholz

German theologian (1884-1956)

Heinrich Scholz wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Heinrich Scholz as German theologian (1884-1956).

Heinrich Scholz was born at Berlin in 1884. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Frederick William University Berlin and University of Erlangen–Nuremberg.

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, University of Wrocław and Kiel University.

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.

Heinrich Scholz died in 1956, aged 72. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
