Karl Rosenkranz wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Karl Rosenkranz as German philosopher (1805–1879).
Karl Rosenkranz was born at Magdeburg in 1805. His recorded nationality is Germany. He studied at Heidelberg University and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin.
The nineteenth century produced systems on a grand scale, and then the reaction against them.
His academic posts were held at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg.
The recorded fields of work are philosophy, history of literature and protestant theology.
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.
Karl Rosenkranz died in 1879, aged 74. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
