Dietrich von Hildebrand
Dietrich von Hildebrand was born in Florence in 1889, and studied philosophy
under Adolf Reinach, Max Scheler, and Edmund Husserl. He was received into
the Catholic Church in 1914. He distinguished himself with many publications in
moral philosophy, in social philosophy, in the philosophy of the interpersonal,
and in aesthetics. He taught in Munich, Vienna, and New York. In the 1930s, he
was one of the strongest voices in Europe against Nazism. He died in New
Rochelle, New York in 1977.
