Felix Kaufmann was an Austrian-American philosopher of law. He studied jurisprudence and philosophy in Vienna. From 1922 to 1938 he was a Privatdozent there. During this time Kaufmann was associated with the Vienna Circle. He also wrote on the foundations of mathematics where, along with Hermann Weyl and Oskar Becker, he was attempting to apply the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl to constructive mathematics. In 1938 the conditions for Jewish scholars became too hard, and he left for the USA.

- Felix Kaufmann was an Austrian-American philosopher of law. He studied jurisprudence and philosophy in Vienna. From 1922 to 1938 he was a Privatdozent there. During this time Kaufmann was associated with the Vienna Circle. He also wrote on the foundations of mathematics where, along with Hermann Weyl and Oskar Becker, he was attempting to apply the phenomenology of Edmund Husserl to constructive mathematics. In 1938 the conditions for Jewish scholars became too hard, and he left for the USA. There he taught until his death as a law professor, in the Graduate Faculty of the New York School for Social Research. Kaufmann also aided fellow Austrian emigres in need of assistance during the pre-war years when the situation became dire for Jewish academics and scholars in Germany and Austria. Interceding on Karl Popper's behalf, Popper was offered academic hospitality at Cambridge University and a stipend of £150 for one year - this offer was transferable, and Friedrich Waismann took it up when Popper went to New Zealand instead (see John Watkins in Proceedings of the British Academy, 94, 645-684, 652).

- Felix Kaufmann était un philosophe du droit américain d'origine autrichienne. Ses travaux s'inscrivent dans le sillage de la phénoménologie. Après avoir étudié le droit et la philosophie à Vienne, il devient professeur titulaire (Privatdozent). Durant cette période il participe au Cercle de Vienne. Il s'intéresse alors aux fondements des mathématiques et, avec Hermann Weyl et Oskar Becker il tente d'appliquer l'approche phénoménologique développée par Edmund Husserl aux mathématiques. Étant de famille juive, il est contraint de quitter l'Autriche pour les États-Unis en 1938. Il y enseigne le droit à la New York School for Social Research. Avant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale, Kaufman a apporté son aide à des émigrés autrichiens et allemands contraints de quitter leur pays en raison de la montée du nazisme. Il est intervenu en faveur de Karl Popper afin qu'il puisse être engagé à l'université de Cambridge.
