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]
Life and career
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]
