Peter Wust (28 August 1884, Rissenthal – 3 April 1940, Münster) was a German existentialist philosopher. ==Biography== Wust was born the oldest of eleven children in Rissenthal in Saarland. He attended the local public school, then the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Gymnasium in Trier. Though his parents had hoped he would become a Catholic priest, he decided on studying Geisteswissenschaft. After 1907, Wust pursued German studies, English studies, and philosophy in Berlin and Strasbourg. He taught in Berlin, Neuss, Trier, and Cologne, and earned his doctorate in 1914 from the University of Bonn.〔 Under the influence of Max Scheler, Wust, originally a neo-Kantian, moved toward Christian existentialism, a development in which the burgeoning ''Renouveau catholique'', the originally French effort to modernize and enlighten traditional, conservative Catholicism, played an important part. In 1928, in Paris, Wust met Georges Bernanos, Paul Claudel, and Jacques Maritain. He developed close friendships with the editors of the Munich-based Catholic monthly ''Hochland'', Carl Muth and Otto Gruendler, maintaining an "intense" correspondence with them and publishing six essays in the magazine between 1922 and 1926. Wust, without habilitation, was appointed professor of philosophy at the University of Münster. At the same time as Martin Heidegger, he developed an existentialist philosophy, though Wust's was essentially Christian. When Adolf Hitler came to power, Wust, one of the few early readers of ''Mein Kampf'', became active in the church's resistance. He promoted a cultural offensive for Catholic Germany, and based much of his philosophy on what he perceived as the cultural unity of Europe. He suffered from cancer since 1938 and died at age 56. Only a few days before his death he wrote a farewell letter to his students, which reportedly was widely read at the Eastern Front. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Peter Wust」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
