Arnór Hannibalsson
Arnór Hannibalsson (1934–2012) was an Icelandic philosopher, historian, and translator and former professor of philosophy at the University of Iceland. He completed a master's degree in philosophy at the University of Moscow and a doctorate in philosophy at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland.
He was predominantly concerned with aesthetics, philosophy, history, epistemology,[1] and science. In 1975 he translated Roman Ingarden's On the Motives which led Husserl to Transcendental Idealism from Polish.[2] He also contributed to journals with articles such as "Icelandic Historical Science in the Postwar Period, 1944-1957".[3]
Arnór had strong anti-Communist views and was said to have been "extremely critical of the Icelandic Socialists" in his 1999/2000 book Moskvulínan: Kommúnistaflokkur Íslands og Komintern, Halldór Laxness og Sovétríkin.[4]
He was the son of Hannibal Valdimarsson, a former minister, and had several sons and one daughter, Thora Arnorsdottir.
He died on December 28, 2012.[5]
