In the history of thought, Owen Barfield is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Owen Barfield as British philosopher.
Owen Barfield was born at London in 1898. His recorded nationality is United Kingdom. He studied at Wadham College and Highgate School.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
The recorded fields of work are linguistics, philosophy and literature.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
That the work was done from United Kingdom matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Owen Barfield died in 1997, aged 99. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
