MOVING TO FRONT FROM YESTERDAY--UPDATED
A longtime member of the Department of Philosophy at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he was emeritus, Professor Bergmann was a popular undergraduate lecturer in courses on existentialism and 19th-century German philosophy, and author of articles on Hegel and Nietzsche, as well as the book On Being Free (1977). From the 1980s onwards, he became best-known as the proseltyzer for what he called "New Work" (see, e.g., this interview), which gained substantial attention in Germany in recent years. There is an obituary in a German newspaper here.
I will add links to other memorial notices as they appear.
ANOTHER: A video memorial from one of those influenced by Bergmann's ideas about "new work" (in German, but with English subtitles).
UPDATE: The Michigan memorial notice is here.
