Ingetraut Dahlberg is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Ingetraut Dahlberg as German philosopher, information scientist and librarian (1927-2017).

Ingetraut Dahlberg was born at Cologne in 1927. Her recorded nationality is Germany.

Twentieth-century philosophy was marked by war, exile and ideology; many of its central figures wrote in flight or under censorship.

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

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

Ingetraut Dahlberg died in 2017, aged 90. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
