Biography

Akert is one of the founders of the defeated Swiss Freethinkers Association [Freidenkerbund] during the First World War.^[1] Among the things he wrote for the Freidenkerbund and published writings about the Walser. In 1942 he published a monograph titled Gottfried Keller's Weltanschauung, in which he discussed the position of the Swiss writer on God, immortality, religion and the Church; this is Akert's most common writing style.

In 1942, Akert moved to Lugano after living in Bern for many years.^[2]
