Iring Fetscher

Iring Fetscher (4 March 1922 – 19 July 2014) was a German academic, political scientist and researcher on Hegel and Marxism.^[1][2]

Fetscher was born at Marbach am Neckar. He was raised in Dresden. After World War II, he studied at Tübingen and Paris.^[1] He belatedly published his thesis Hegels Lehre vom Menschen in 1970.^[3][4][5]

From 1963 to 1988 Fetschler was Professor of Political Science and Social Philosophy at the Goethe University Frankfurt. He is identified with the "second generation" of the Frankfurt School, along with Jürgen Habermas and Alfred Schmidt.^[6]

In 1976, he published his own version of The Wolf and the Seven Young Goats by the Brothers Grimm, Die Geiß und die sieben Wölflein (English version as "The Goat and the Seven Young Wolves"), as part of the children's book Update on Rumpelstiltskin and other Fairy Tales by 43 Authors, which is compiled by Hans-Joachim Gelberg, illustrated by Willi Glasauer, and published by Beltz & Gelberg.

In 1993, Fetscher was honored with induction into the Ordre des Palmes Académiques.^[7]

Fetscher died in Frankfurt, aged 92.
