Reinhardt Grossmann

Reinhardt Grossmann (10 January 1931 – 2 July 2010) was a German–born American philosopher.

Biography

He was born in Berlin and was professor at Indiana University, Bloomington from 1962 onwards. Grossman's work is notable for its openness to both contemporary analytical philosophy and modern continental philosophy. He is the author of several books, including Reflections on Frege's Philosophy (1969), Meinong (1974), Phenomenology and Existentialism (1984), The Fourth Way: A Theory of Knowledge (1990), and The Existence of the World: An Introduction to Ontology (1992). Grossmann has developed a neo-Kantian epistemology according to which what passes for reality is determined by an intellectual categorical framework. He has expounded it in The Structure of Mind (1965) and The Categorical Structure of the World (1983).[1][2]

He died in Austin, Texas.

gollark: And that was while living in a functional industrial society with stuff like water bottles.
gollark: We lost water for a bit because of storm damage to the pipes, and it was very unpleasant.
gollark: It may have good ideas, but I like medicine and running water and computers.
