Wolfgang Kuhlmann (born 19 October 1939) is a German philosopher and representative of the discourse ethics.
Born in Kiel, Kuhlmann, who received his doctorate in 1974, and habilitated in 1983, is a student of Karl-Otto Apel and a colleague of Peter Rohs. He then worked as a private lecturer in philosophy at the Goethe University in Frankfurt and from 1985 to 1992 as managing director and editor of the publication series in the Forum für Philosophie in Bad Homburg. In the context of this activity there was from 1987 to 1991 a co-operation with Eberhard Schnelle [de]. In 1989 Kuhlmann became full professor at the University of Frankfurt and in 1992 a professor at the University of Erfurt. From 1993 to 2005 Kuhlmann taught at the RWTH Aachen University.
In his philosophy, Kuhlmann affirms the possibility of ultimate justification [de] and takes a universalist position. Especially for discourse ethics in the sense of Karl-Otto Apel, Wolfgang Kuhlmann claims a final justification.
