Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken

German Mystic, Writer and Painter (1876-1943)

Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken as German Mystic, Writer and Painter (1876-1943).

Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken was born at Aschaffenburg in 1876. His recorded nationality is German Reich.

Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.

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

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

Joseph Anton Schneiderfranken died in 1943, aged 67. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
