ABSTRACT
Karl Schuh-mann passed away in Utrecht (Netherlands), where he had been a professor of philosophy for nearly 20 years. After distinguishing himself in Leuven, Karl Schuhmann became a professor in Utrecht in 1974, shortly after the death of Professor van Breda. In Utrecht he continued in his work on Husserl, which resulted in many publications that have proved indispensable for those who do research in the same area. Outstanding among these publications are his Husserl-Chronik, Husserls Staatsphilosophie, and his edition of Husserl's correspondence, Briefwechsel, which he edited in collaboration with his wife, Elisabeth Schuhmann. Aside from being an outstanding Husserl scholar, Schuhmann was also a notable specialist in seventeenth century philosophy, particularly in Thomas Hobbes. His Hobbes: une chronique has proven as useful to Hobbes scholarship as the Husserl-Chronik is to Husserl scholarship. Schuh-mann's other endeavors include his many articles on Munich phenomenology and the school of Brentano.
