She was a professor at the philosophy department of the Universtity of Mnster and worked mainly in the fields of philosophy of science, philosophy of language, and logics. Her publications were not large in number, but deep in thought. Her very original and excellent work does not yet seem to have the repercussions it deserves.The convenors wish to help changing this a little bit and honour Rosemarie Rheinwald by discussing some of the main topics she worked on, and relating their own philosophical work to her thoughts and results.
