In Memory of Rudolf Haller (1929–2014).

With Rudolf Haller's death,[1] after several years of serious illness, on February 14th, 2014, in Graz, Austria, the world of philosophy has lost a highly distinguished scholar, and Austria has lost one of the most internationally renowned philosophers of the post-war period. Born in 1929 in St. Gallen, Styria, Austria, Haller studied philosophy, sociology, history and art history at the University of Graz. One core concern of Rudolf Haller's academic commitment was to generate a new beginning of philosophy in Austria - not only by introducing analytic philosophy but also by claiming that a specific Austrian history of philosophy has developed since the 19th century.
