Wolfgang Welsch

German philosopher and educationist

In the history of thought, Wolfgang Welsch is one of the names that keeps being returned to.

The record lists Wolfgang Welsch as German philosopher and educationist.

Wolfgang Welsch was born at Steinenhausen in 1946. His recorded nationality is Germany.

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 Jena and University of Magdeburg.

The recorded fields of work are postmodernism.

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

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