Martin Rhonheimer

Swiss philosopher

Martin Rhonheimer wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Martin Rhonheimer as Swiss philosopher.

Martin Rhonheimer was born at Zurich in 1950. His recorded nationality is Switzerland.

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

His academic posts were held at Pontifical University of the Holy Cross.

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

The honours record reads: Hayek Medal (2021).

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