Eugen Fink

Eugen Fink (* December 11 1905 in Konstanz; † July 25 1975 in Freiburg im Breisgau) was a German philosopher.

Biography

Fink was born in 1905 as the son of a government official in Germany. He spent his first school years with an uncle who was a catholic priest. Fink attended a gymnasium in Konstanz where he succeeded with his extraordinary memory. After his graduation exam in 1925, he studied philosophy, history, German language and economics, initially at Münster and Berlin and then in Freiburg with Edmund Husserl.

Philosophy

Ayudante de Husserl, representante del idealismo fenomenológico y posterior seguidor de Heidegger. Trató el problema del ser como una manifestación del movimiento cósmico y al hombre como partícipe de él. Los problemas filosóficos son los llamados por Fink precuestiones, que llevan a la verdadera filosofía por el camino de la praxis ontológica.
