Biography
editRödl studied philosophy, musicology, German literature and history in Frankfurt am Main and Berlin, completing his doctoral dissertation under the supervision of Albrecht Wellmer.[3] His work focuses on the self-conscious nature of human thought and action. His main influence is Hegel, and he sees himself as introducing and restating Hegel's Absolute Idealism in a historical moment that is wrought with misgivings about the merits and even the mere possibility of such a philosophy.[4]
