Kah CHO Obituary
Renowned Korean-American philosopher and retired Distinguished Teaching Professor at the University at Buffalo, died on January 15, 2022, at the age of 94. Cho leaves a daughter, her family, and several siblings. Cho was born on June 7, 1927 in Seoul, Korea, during the Japanese occupation. After graduating from Seoul National University, Cho was one of the first Korean students to study in Germany, receiving his PhD in Philosophy from the University of Heidelberg in 1957. He studied under the noted German philosopher Karl Loewith, a student of Husserl and Heidegger. Cho enjoyed an extraordinarily long career, almost 50 years of which were spent teaching at UB prior to his retirement in 2017. He was a visiting professor at a number of institutions around the world, as well as a frequent keynote speaker at conferences. He wrote and published numerous philosophical works in Korean, English, German and Japanese, including Bewusstsein und Natursein. Any donations in Cho's honor can be made to the Kah Kyung Cho Excellence Fund at the University at Buffalo (www.buffalo.edu). There will be a private service for immediate family in San Mateo, California. Online condolences at rohdefuneral.com
