Tommaso Palamidessi

Italian astrologer, philosopher and writer (1915–1983)

Tommaso Palamidessi is remembered for arguments the next generation could not ignore.

The record lists Tommaso Palamidessi as Italian astrologer, philosopher and writer (1915–1983).

Tommaso Palamidessi was born at Pisa in 1915. His recorded nationality is Italy.

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

A philosophical position survives not by being proved but by resisting every attempt to dispose of it.

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

Tommaso Palamidessi died in 1983, aged 68. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
