Fritz Mauthner (22 November 1849 – 29 June 1923) was an Austro-Hungarian novelist, theatre critic, satirist, and exponent of philosophical skepticism derived from a critique of human knowledge.
Mauthner was born on 22 November 1849 into an assimilated, well-to-do Jewish family from Horschitz (Hořice; also Horschitz) in Bohemia.
He became editor of the Berliner Tageblatt in 1895, but is best known for his Beiträge zu einer Kritik der Sprache (Contributions to a Critique of Language), published in three parts in 1901 and 1902. Ludwig Wittgenstein took several of his ideas from Mauthner, and acknowledges him in his Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus (1922).
Mauthner died in Meersburg.
