Horst Matthai source

Horst Matthai Quelle (born January 30, 1912 in Hanover , † December 27, 1999 in Tijuana ) was a German philosopher .

He emigrated to Mexico in the mid-1930s . He studied at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) philosophy , with Carlos Monsiváis (Monsiváis studied economics and philosophy at the UNAM).

As the list of works shows, he dealt a lot with classical philosophy. Its own location was that of individual anarchism , as the following quote aptly shows:

"For an old anarchist like me, who believes in the selfish peculiarity of Stirner and Leibniz's autistic monad , the world is nothing more than a silly and intrusive audience that accepts a monologue for a happening."
