Raimon Panikkar wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.
The record lists Raimon Panikkar as Spanish-Indian Catholic priest and theologian (1918-2010).
Raimon Panikkar was born at Barcelona in 1918. His recorded nationality is Spain. He studied at University of Mysore and University of Bonn.
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 Harvard University and University of California, Santa Barbara.
Philosophical influence is measured in the questions a thinker made unavoidable.
That the work was done from Spain matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Raimon Panikkar died in 2010, aged 92. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
