Michael Theunissen

Michael Theunissen (Born 11 October 1932 in Berlin; 18. April 2015) was a German philosopher. He was successor to Hans-Georg Gadamer as chair of philosophy at the University of Heidelberg.

Theunissen must be mentioned in the same breath as Jürgen Habermas, Hermann Lübbe, Robert Spaemann, Ernst Tugendhat, Dieter Henrich and Odo Marquard. All of them, who took up their studies after the Second World War, have had a significant influence (both with and against each other) on German-language philosophy in the recent past.
