Claire Ortiz Hill (1951-2025)

Claire Ortiz Hill was an American philosopher (who spent the later part of her life in France) who in the last quarter of the 20th-century authored some lucid and meticulously written books on Frege, Husserl and intensionality as well as offering a cogent critique of some central trends of 20th-century analytic philosophy. In recent years she dedicated herself to Cantor and little known aspects of Hilbert's role in philosophy. Her magnificent article Hilbert's Fight for Philosophy (2021) has many important connections to our paper on Analyticity and the A Priori.
