Otto Weininger

Philosopher

Otto Weininger was a controversial Austrian philosopher who lived a short but impactful life. He is best known for his 1903 book 'Geschlecht und Charakter' (Sex and Character), which gained notoriety after his suicide at the age of 23. The work espoused misogynistic and anti-Semitic views, yet it profoundly influenced prominent thinkers like Ludwig Wittgenstein and August Strindberg. His theories on gender, genius, and morality remain a subject of intense academic debate and criticism.
