Klaus Hartmann (September, 5 1925 in Berlin – June, 30 1991 in Tübingen) was a German philosopher and university lecturer.
Life
[edit]After being a prisoner of war, Hartmann studied philosophy, English and German at the University of Bonn from 1946. He received his doctorate there in 1953 with a thesis on Husserls Einfühlungstheorie auf monadologischer Grundlage, and his habilitation in 1962 with a thesis on Grundzüge der Ontologie Sartres in ihrem Verhältnis zu Hegels Logik. In 1967 he became an associate professor at the University of Bonn; in 1972 he accepted an appointment as a full professor in University of Tübingen.[1]
Work
[edit]In the 1960s the Hartmann developed what was termed a non-metaphysical interpretation of Hegel which, together with the work of Dieter Henrich and others, played an important role in the revival of interest in Hegel in academic philosophy in the second half of the century.[2]
According to Terry Pinkard, Hartmann's thought represents a revised and purified form of neo‑Hegelianism that attempts to respond to and complete the development of neo‑Kantianism in modern German thought just as Hegel himself had attempted to complete the development of Kantian idealism in his own day.[3]
Reception
[edit]His book Die Marxsche Theorie. Eine philosophische Untersuchung zu den Hauptschriften (1970) according to Reinhold Aschenberg covers “Marx's theory comprehensively in all relevant phases of development and theoretical pieces”. “Because the analysis, reconstruction and criticism it offers is unsurpassed in its philosophical level”, the book stands out from the philosophical literature on Marx.[4]
Michael Moxter is one of his students.
