Talk:Hans Albert

Article improvement

This article needs a bit of a stylistic cleanup; it is also somewhat POV in Albert's favour. Ben Finn 22:11, 24 August 2006 (UTC)

Is this true 2009 after all those corrections Thomasmeeks made 2006? Perhaps somebody could eventually remove the accusation of POV and stylistic flaws.hjn (talk) 18:37, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

So he won the Iron Cross second class. No shame in that but perhaps someone more knowledgeable than me could fill us is as to what he did between 1921 and 1945. The article is silent in this regard. Balance is what it is all about. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.19.215 (talk) 20:51, 24 October 2023 (UTC)

He was 12 years old in 1933, 19 years in 1939. What do you think a young guy had to do in Germany in that time?--Ralfdetlef (talk) 15:20, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

Quality

To rate or to improve? that is the question... - Native speakers easily might improve what I don't know better. The same applies to any inadequate (sic!) POV. Any outsider seeing more clearly my faults is invited to improve (sic!) this article. I am the first auther and hopefully not the last.

Recent edits

This is a very interesting article. Bravo to H-J-Niemann. I have taken him at his word. My edits are intended as mostly stylistic within Wiki guidelines. If my edits say anything that Albert does not, that should be corrected. Thomasmeeks 15:21, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Thank you so much, Thomasmeeks. That's exactly what I thought Wikipedia should work out. I am happy this article is no longer only "my article". hjn 17:35, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Four years later. What about the idea of Wikipedia? Together we are... Am I the only one in the world who knows about Hans Albert? Unfortunately I grow older and have to write books of my own which cannot wait longer. So, reader, coming to this place feel pity. In my opinion Hans Albert is a philosopher much more worthwhile being read than, say, his opponent of 'Positivism Debate' Jürgen Habermas. Look how nicely you have worked for that guy. Isn't it somewhat unfair? Greetings to my unknown readers. hjn (talk) 11:15, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Now come on. I'm not sure Hans Albert would aprove of that sort of slight against Habermas. They have naturally their differences, but assigning a worthyness to that evaluation is not actually what Albert ever wanted. If the article needs more, crack open that editor and work on it. There are some things I would like to know, what of the life of Hans Albert, who is the person outside of the profession. How did he spend his youth? Has he family. These are I suppose trivia and perhaps these questions dont do justice to a man who so strongly advocated an impersonal but interested approach to learning. But an appeal to the void to answer those questions wont work. If you know such answers, write! No one else will Duckmonster (talk) 04:37, 3 April 2022 (UTC)

I cannot find much on his time as a soldier; he was in France and Greece, that's basically it (online). On german philosophy, there is a "Philosophie in Selbstdarstellungen" (3 Vols., from 1977), featuring german philosophers and historians of philosophy, like E.Bloch, Gadamer, Heimsoeth, Julius Ebbinghaus, G. Günther, Pieper, Plessner, E. Heintel, Bruno Liebrucks (a great piece on his life), german philosophers of the 1920s, 1930's to the 1960's; an older generation obviously. --Ralfdetlef (talk) 15:51, 25 October 2023 (UTC)
