Anastasius Nordenholz
Anastasius Nordenholz is the author of Scientologie, Wissenschaft von der Beschaffenheit und der Tauglichkeit des Wissens written in 1933.Anastasius Nordenholz was born on February 1, 1862, in Buenos Aires, Argentina. At the age of 16 he came to Germany and studied law, political economics and philosophy successively in Berlin, Zurich and Jena. He then went to Munich, studying there as a private scholar until around 1905.
In 1904, he published a study titled Allgemeine Theorie der gesellschaftlichen Produktion, which was linked with Schopenhauer and in which he examined Kant's criticism. This concerned political economics, with a focus on the science of human thinking and knowledge. This book was followed in 1927 with Welt als Individuation - Entwurf eines Individuationismus. A supplement of the Publishing House Felix Meiner in Leipzig said:
His work Scientologie, Wissenschaft von der Beschaffenheit und der Tauglichkeit des Wissens was published in 1934. The Church of Scientology has actively but in vain tried to suppress the book, as well as the domain name “scientologie”.
He spent the remainder of his life in Las Rosas, in the southwest of the province of Santa Fe, Argentina, to which he came back to after World War I. He subsequently returned to Germany only as visitor. Nordenholz died at the age of 91 on September 21, 1953, in Santa Fe, Argentina.
