About this person
Reiner Schürmann was a German philosopher. He was a professor of philosophy at The New School for Social Research in New York City from 1975 to his death. He wrote all his major published work in French. Deeply influenced by Heidegger, Meister Eckhart, and contemporary continental thought, Schürmann developed a radical critique of metaphysical and political first principles culminating in analyses of broken hegemonies, singularity, and non-foundational praxis. In recent years, his work have been increasingly translated and discussed in different countries like Italy or Mexico; in 2025, an anthology remarked that academic interest in Schürmann's philosophical work had grown notably.
