Alois Riehl
Alois Adolf Riehl (German: [ʀiːl]; 27 April 1844 – 21 November 1924) was an Austrian philosopher. He was born in Bozen (Bolzano) in the Austrian Empire (now in Italy).
The brother of Josef Riehl, he was a Neo-Kantian and worked as a full professor of philosophy at Graz from 1878, then at Freiburg (from 1882 as a replacement for Wilhelm Windelband),[1] and finally in Berlin, where he commissioned Mies van der Rohe to design his house in Neubabelsberg.
For Riehl, philosophy was not the teaching of Weltanschauung, but principally a criticism of perception.
Riehl died in Neubabelsberg, near Potsdam,[1] and was buried in the Alter Friedhof in Klein-Glienicke.
His wife Sofie, was the aunt of Frieda Gross, the wife of the Austrian medical doctor, scientist and revolutionary, Otto Gross.
