Theodor Haecker

Japanese: ヘッカー - へっかー(英語表記)Theodor Haecker
Theodor Haecker

German thinker. Born in Eberbach near Heidelberg. In 1921, he converted to Catholicism under the influence of the British Cardinal Newman. Not only did he translate the works of Kierkegaard and Newman into German, but he also engaged in a wide range of critical activities through the Catholic literary and critical journal Hochland. His main work is Virgil, Father of the West (1931). He is also famous for his anti-Nazism books that influenced the Scholl siblings Hans Scholl (1918-1943) and Sophie Scholl (1921-1943), members of the resistance movement "The White Rose."
