Herbert Spiegelberg (May 18, 1904 – September 6, 1990) was an American philosopher who played a prominent role in the advancement of phenomenogical philosophy in the United States.
He studied at the universities of Heidelberg, Freiburg, and Munich, where he encountered Edmund Husserl and many others in the vanguard of the European phenomenological movement.
His doctoral dissertation was written under the direction of the phenomenologist Alexander Pfänder and was titled Gesetz und Sittengesetz (Law and Morality).
In 1937 Spiegelberg left the continent and studied for a year in England before emigrating to the United States.
In the U. S., he taught first at Swarthmore College and then at Lawrence University, which later awarded him an honorary doctoral degree.
