Zoltán Gyenge is a Hungarian philosopher and full professor of philosophy at University of Szeged, where he is affiliated with the Institute of Philosophy and has also served as head of the doctoral school in philosophy. He studied philosophy at Eötvös Loránd University and has pursued further academic work at international institutions, including universities in Vienna and Heidelberg. His research is situated within continental philosophy, philosophy of religion, and the history of modern European thought, drawing extensively on the work of Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Martin Heidegger.
