Dagobert David Runes (January 6, 1902 – September 24, 1982) was a philosopher and author.

Biography

Born in Zastavna, Bukovina, Austro-Hungary (now in Ukraine), Runes emigrated to the United States in 1928. He had received a doctorate in philosophy from the University of Vienna in 1924, where he had been a student of Moritz Schlick, one of the founders of the Vienna Circle of positivist philosophers. In the U.S. he became editor of The Modern Thinker (1929-1936), The Modern Psychologist (1932-1938), and Current Digest (1933-1940). From 1931 to 1934 he was Director of the Institute for Advanced Education in New York City. One of its earliest creations as a publisher was the scholarly Journal of Aesthetics and Art Criticism, which is still being published. In 1941 he founded the Philosophical Library, a spiritual organization and publishing house. He wrote and edited numerous books on the subjects of philosophy, politics, education, Judaism and his own poetry. In New York, Runes socialized with many public figures and especially those driven into exile by Hitler. Alfred Adler, Albert Einstein and Emil Ludwig were among his illustrious acquaintances.
