Christos Axelos ( Greek Χρήστος Αξελός ; born January 23, 1928 in Athens , † November 12, 2013 in Athens) was a Greek philosopher .

Life

After receiving his doctorate on December 18, 1952 as Dr. phil. in Freiburg im Breisgau (with an investigation into the meaning of Kant's philosophy of practical reason and its limits ) and his habilitation in 1969, he taught from 1970 as a private lecturer and from 1974 to 1990 as a professor of philosophy at the University of Hamburg . He was also Associate Editor of Philosophical Inquiry magazine. With his study The Ontological Foundations of Leibniz's Theory of Freedom (1973) he made an important contribution to Leibniz research. Axelos has succeeded, wrote Albert Heinekamp, ​​the director of the Leibniz Archive in Hanover, in his book review, "to show the connections between Leibniz's thinking, which, to my knowledge, have so far been given little consideration. In front of the reader's eye there is an image of a Leibniz, who does not have a ready answer to every question, but that of a thinker who is always fascinated and worried by the 'labyrinth of freedom' and who is only gradually in constant confrontation with his predecessors and contemporaries to clarify his thoughts about freedom and necessity Leibniz Research owes Axelos thanks for this. " His translation of the font La logique ou l'art de penser by Antoine Arnauld received three editions. Axelos is the doctoral supervisor of Friedemann Grenz, Gabriella Wollenhaupt's husband .
