László Tengelyi in memoriam (* Budaptest, 11 de Julio de 1954, † Wuppertal, 19 de Julio de 2014): obituary notice

Abstract

Not long ago —in the summer of 2014— students, colleagues, and friends of László Tengelyi gathered to celebrate his 60th birthday. For the occasion, we organized a colloquium in Wuppertal to discuss the contributions and horizons of his phenomenological philosophy. Yet, just a couple of weeks later, we received the shocking and painful news of his passing. Mingled with the still-fresh memories of the time we had recently spent with him was the profound sense of having lost an extraordinary teacher and a great friend. We could only lament that death had overtaken him at the very moment his philosophical maturity was beginning to truly unfold.
