The Executive Committee was contacted a few days ago to let us know that Wayne Froman passed away on March 5, 2023 after a long and fruitful career in philosophy at George Mason University. Wayne was a leading scholar of 20th century European philosophy, especially the thought of Martin Heidegger, Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Emmanuel Levinas, and Franz Rosenzweig. At the time of his death, he was working on a book-length study of the philosophical contributions of Rosenzweig and Heidegger. Wayne was a long-time member of many philosophical organizations including the Heidegger Circle.
The Department of Philosophy at George Mason University have shared this ‘in memoriam’ page, where details of an event to celebrate Wayne’s scholarship will be posted as soon as they are available: https://philosophy.gmu.edu/articles/18804.
Wayne will be sorely missed by his students, colleagues, and philosophical friends around the world.
