The Max Rieser Collection predominantly documents the life and work of the lawyer, philosopher and writer Max Rieser. The main subjects of the collection are his life, his writing and his publishing work. The collection consists of manuscripts, correspondence, clippings, official documents and photographs
Polish philosophers Roman Ingarden and Wladyslaw Tartarkiewicz. Thomas Munro. Karl Kraus
Samuel Maximilian (Max) Rieser was born in Krakow in 1893. Following his elementary and secondary education there, he began the study of law in Vienna. His studies were interrupted by the First World War, which he spent in Switzerland, associating with pacifistic groups and writing for newspapers. After the war he returned to Vienna, completed his law studies and obtained a position at the Phoenix Insurance Company. Besides his legal work, Rieser wrote literary supplements that appeared in Austrian and Swiss newspapers
After the bankruptcy of the Phoenix Concern in 1938, Rieser opened a private law practice; one of his clients was the childhood friend of Adolf Hitler, Reinhold Hanisch. Foreseeing the oncoming Anschluss he immigrated to the United States in early 1939. He earned his living through various forms of freelance journalism, writing under different pseudonyms for the New York Staatszeitung
After the Second World War Rieser worked for different European newsletters and between 1946 and 1957 for the Common Council for American Unity, an immigrant service organization, as a translator
The money earned through journalism helped to finance Rieser's activities as a philosopher. Specializing in aesthetics, Rieser produced numerous essays, reviews and monographs appearing in different American philosophical journals
Although never having studied philosophy, Rieser was very active in the philosophical world, attending numerous regional, national and international philosophical congresses. He continued these activities almost until the end of his life
Several of Max Rieser's books are available at the LBI library
Rieser, Enrico ; Heiden, Konrad ; Teutler, Ida ; Ingarden, Roman ; Stevens, Wallace ; Ajdukiewicz, Kazimierz ; Lukacs, Georg
