Eckardt Lindner is a philosopher based in Berlin. He earned his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Vienna, where his dissertation was recognized with the Award of Excellence. He currently teaches at the Institute for Philosophy at the University of Vienna and at Webster Vienna Private University.

His research moves between post-structuralism and critical theory, exploring contemporary articulations of vitalism and anti-vitalism, materialist thought, and corporeal passivity. His work examines the ethics and politics of life’s aberrant expressions — exhaustion, insomnia, and apathy — as sites where thought confronts its own limits.
