It is with sadness that SPEP shares the news of the death of long-standing SPEP member, Wayne Froman, who passed away on March 6 2023 after a long and fruitful career in philosophy at George Mason University. Wayne was a leading scholar of 20th century European philosophy, especially the thought of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, and Franz Rosenzweig. At the time of his death, he was working on a book-length study of the philosophical contributions of Rosenzweig and Heidegger. Wayne was the local host for SPEP’s annual conference in 2009 and most recently spoke at a book panel at SPEP TAMU 2022.
The Department of Philosophy at George Mason University have shared this ‘in memoriam’ page, where details of an event to celebrate Wayne’s scholarship will be posted as soon as they are available: https://philosophy.gmu.edu/articles/18804
Wayne will be sorely missed by his students, colleagues, and philosophical friends around the world.
