José Ingenieros , actually Giuseppe Ingegnieri , (born April 24, 1877 in Palermo , Sicily , † October 31, 1925 Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine philosopher, physician and writer of Sicilian origin.

Life

Ingenieros was the son of Salvatore Ingegnieri and his wife Mariana Tagliavia. When he was eight, Ingenieros emigrated to Argentina with his father. In Argentina, Ingenieros then changed his name to José Ingenieros . From 1888 he attended the Colegio Nacional in Buenos Aires under the direction of Amancio Alcorta . He then studied medicine at the Universidad de Buenos Aires (UBA) and was able to successfully complete this course in 1900 with the dissertation "Simulación en la lucha por la vida". Ingenieros dealt with psychiatry and criminology from an early age. He followed the theory of the Italian Cesare Lombroso of the "born criminal." During his studies he had already become a member of the Social Democratic Party of Argentina ; Among other things, he made the acquaintance of the writer Mario Bravo there .

In 1897 Ingenieros had founded the politically left-wing magazine “La Montaña” together with Leopoldo Lugones . Due to the series of articles "Reptiles burgueses" it was soon banned.

In 1902 Ingenieros became a lecturer at the Institute of Neuropathology and Director of the Archives of Psychiatry and Criminology (until 1913) of the University of Buenos Aires. In 1904 Ingenieros was entrusted with a chair in psychology (UBA). Due to political disputes, President Roque Sáenz thwarted Peña Ingenieros' appointment as professor of forensic medicine. Thereupon the latter abandoned all his duties and obligations and undertook an extensive study trip to and through Europe. For a long time he stayed in Geneva , Heidelberg , Lausanne , Madrid and Paris . Among other things, he visited various professional colleagues at the local academies and universities and discussed various issues with students.

Ingenieros married Eva Rutenberg in Lausanne and had four children with her: Delia, Amalia, Julio and Cecilia.

In 1914 Ingenieros returned to Argentina and founded the "Philosophical Seminar" at the University of Buenos Aires. In 1915 he was instrumental in founding the magazine "Revista de Filosofía" and four years later he started the book series "La Cultura Argentina"; in which over 150 volumes were published. In 1919 he stopped teaching in order to devote himself more to politics. Ingenieros represented progressivist to communist positions and proposed the establishment of an anti-imperialist Latin American Union in 1922 . In order to have a mouthpiece for his socialist / sociological ideas, Ingenieros founded the magazine “Renovación” in 1923 together with his student Aníbal Ponce .

José Ingenieros died at the age of 48 on October 31, 1925 in Buenos Aires, where he found his final resting place.
