Eugen Fink (11 December 1905 – 25 July 1975) was a German philosopher.
Fink attended a grammar school in Konstanz where he succeeded with his extraordinary memory.
After his graduation exam in 1925, he studied philosophy, history, German language and economics, initially at Münster and Berlin and then in Freiburg with Edmund Husserl.
From early on, Fink was critical recipient of their positions, thereby developing his own approach as a philosophical "cosmology".
Fink called the philosophical problems pre-questions, that are never ready-made problems with predetermined factors such as in natural sciences but have to be created in a genuine act of philosophical reflexion.
