In the history of thought, Valéria Dienes is one of the names that keeps being returned to.
The record lists Valéria Dienes as Hungarian writer and philosopher (1879-1978).
Valéria Dienes was born at Szekszárd in 1879. Her recorded nationality is Hungary. She studied at Eötvös Loránd University.
Around the turn of the twentieth century philosophy split into traditions that largely stopped reading one another.
The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.
Recognition followed: Baumgarten Prize (1934).
That the work was done from Hungary matters: philosophical traditions, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Valéria Dienes died in 1978, aged 99. The arguments remain in print, which is the form in which philosophy survives.
