Ukshin Hoti

Albanian philosopher and activist (1943-1999)

Ukshin Hoti wrote at a period when the questions philosophy asked were themselves being renegotiated.

The record lists Ukshin Hoti as Albanian philosopher and activist (1943-1999).

Ukshin Hoti was born at Krushë e Madhe in 1943. His recorded nationality is Serbia. He studied at Harvard University and University of Chicago.

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 University of Pristina (1969–1999).

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

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

Ukshin Hoti died in 1999, aged 56. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
