An Uncommon Mind: Frieder Roessler's Legacy

Author

Listed:
  • Mavroidis, Petros C.

Abstract

‘U-huh’. This is what I recall being Frieder's routine reaction whenever he was exposed to an argument. He rejected nothing, but at the same time he agreed to nothing right away. He needed his time to process, and would reach his conclusions only at a later stage. He applied this standard to his own, spontaneous thinking which might have sounded entirely convincing to me when we were working together, but not to him. ‘Let us think this issue through’ – a literal translation of the German‘durchdenken’ – he would say to me when we on occasion spoke together.
