Life

Hans Poser studied mathematics , physics and philosophy at the University of Tübingen and the University of Hanover from 1957 and passed the state examination in 1964 with an admission thesis in the field of geometry . From then on he devoted most of his attention to philosophy and received his doctorate in this subject in 1969 with a research thesis on the thinking of the German philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , who has been his special focus ever since. Two years later he completed his habilitation and worked as a lecturer at the Technical University of Hanover. In 1972, Hans Poser was appointed to the Technical University of Berlin , where he taught philosophy as a full professor at the Institute for Philosophy, Philosophy of Science, and the History of Science and Technology until his retirement in 2005.

He is particularly interested in the recent history of philosophy from Descartes to Schelling , the philosophy of science and technology, and the modal theory and philosophy of mathematics .

Hans Poser has held guest lectureships and professorships several times , which have taken him to Africa, Asia, South and North America and Europe. He was a reviewer for the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). From 1994 to 1996 he was President of the General Society for Philosophy in Germany, which is now called the German Society for Philosophy . He was a member of the Interacademic Leibniz Commission of the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and the Comite Directeur of the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie (FISP).

Poser was co-editor of anthologies, festschriften and congress volumes, as well as specialist periodicals, including the Studia Leibnitiana and the Allgemeine Zeitschrift für Philosophie .

The term “Technodizee” coined by Poser found its way into the social discourse about the risks of technical progress ( technology assessment ). Poser's essay From Theodicy to Technodicy was an important inspiration for the novel Kraft by Jonas Lüscher .
