Kah Kyung Cho

Kah Kyung Cho (June 7, 1927 – January 15, 2022) was a Korean-American philosopher. He specialized in phenomenology, hermeneutics, contemporary German philosophy, and east–west comparative philosophy. He had worked with continental philosophers such as Martin Heidegger and Hans-Georg Gadamer. He taught at State University of New York (SUNY) from 1971 to 2017 and took retirement as a SUNY Distinguished Teaching Professor. Cho's seminars have traditionally centered on discussions anchored in close textual and hermeneutical readings of works in the phenomenological tradition, including Heidegger's ''Fundamental Concepts of Metaphysics'', ''Being and Time,'' and Gadamer's ''Truth and Method.''
