Karel Slavoj Amerling

Czech philosopher, doctor, educator and science writer (1807-1884)

Karel Slavoj Amerling wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Karel Slavoj Amerling as Czech philosopher, doctor, educator and science writer (1807-1884).

Karel Slavoj Amerling was born at Klatovy in 1807. His recorded nationality is Cisleithania.

The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.

The recorded fields of work are medicine, pedagogy and philosophy.

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

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

Karel Slavoj Amerling died in 1884, aged 77. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
