Panagiotis Kondylis (1943-1998) was a Greek philosopher, intellectual historian, and translator who produced a deep and original multidimensional body of work. Kondylis earned his doctorate in 1977 at the University of Heidelberg under the supervision of Dieter Henrich producing a thesis on the origins of German idealism. Eschewing traditional academic appointments he worked as a private scholar and wrote articles and monographs covering the Enlightenment, conservatism, liberalism, early modern metaphysics, the philosophy of war as seen in Clausewitz, Karl Marx's relation to Greek philosophy, international relations, and social ontology.
