Moriz Carrière

German philosopher and historian

In the history of thought, Moriz Carrière is one of the names that keeps being returned to.

The record lists Moriz Carrière as German philosopher and historian.

Moriz Carrière was born at Butzbach in 1817. His recorded nationality is Grand Duchy of Hesse.

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

His academic posts were held at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, University of Giessen and Academy of Fine Arts, Munich.

The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.

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

Moriz Carrière died in 1895, aged 78. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
