Vyacheslav Akhunov

Soviet and Uzbek artist, author, philosopher (born 1948)

In the history of thought, Vyacheslav Akhunov is one of the names that keeps being returned to.

The record lists Vyacheslav Akhunov as Soviet and Uzbek artist, author, philosopher (born 1948).

Vyacheslav Akhunov was born at Osh in 1948. His recorded nationality is Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic.

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

The discipline keeps its dead in print, because the arguments are still open.

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