Ernst Tugendhat (8 March 1930 – 13 March 2023) was a Czechoslovakian-born German philosopher. He was a scion of the wealthy and influential Jewish Tugendhat family. They lived in Venezuela during the Nazi regime, and he studied first in Stanford University, then in Freiburg. He taught internationally in Europa and South America, with a focus on language analysis.[1]
Tugendhat was born in Brno, Czechoslovakia, to Fritz and Greta (Löw-Beer) Tugendhat,[2] a wealthy Jewish family that had commissioned Mies van der Rohe to design of the Villa Tugendhat in Brno.[3] In 1938 the family escaped the Nazi regime,[4] first to St. Gallen, Switzerland, and later to settle in Caracas, Venezuela.[5] Ernst had an older half-sister, Hanna Weiss, and three younger siblings – Herbert, Ruth, and Daniela.[6][7] The last two children were born after the family migrated to Venezuela.[7]
Tugendhat was professor at the University of Heidelberg from 1966 to 1975. During the 1960s and 1970s, Heidelberg developed into one of the main scenes of the left-wing student protests in Germany.[9] Because of the student movement and as a protest against the situation at German universities in the 1970s, Tugendhat gave up his position and relocated to Starnberg, where Jürgen Habermas worked at the time.[1] In 1980 he moved to Berlin, becoming, like his friend Michael Theunissen [de], a professor of philosophy at the Free University of Berlin.[1]
