Question: British biographer and translator of German philosophy and literature R.J. Hollingdale was elected president of what in 1989, partly because of his work with the posthumously published notebooks of G. C. Lichtenberg?

 Hollingdale was elected president of The Friedrich Nietzsche Society in 1989. Reginald John "R. J." Hollingdale (20 October 1930 – 28 September 2001) was a British biographer and translator of German philosophy and literature, especially the works of Friedrich Nietzsche, Goethe, E. T. A. Hoffmann, G. C. Lichtenberg, and Schopenhauer.  Along with Walter Kaufmann, he was responsible for rehabilitating Nietzsche's reputation in the English-speaking world after World War II.  Hollingdale was an atheist. <SEP> Dermot Moran ( ) is an Irish philosopher specialising in phenomenology and in medieval philosophy and also active in the dialogue between analytic and continental philosophy.  He is currently Professor of Philosophy (Metaphysics and Logic) at University College Dublin.  He previously taught at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, Queen's University of Belfast, and Yale University.  He has served as a visiting professor of philosophy in many universities around the world, including Rice University, Sorbonne, University at Albany, SUNY, Catholic University of Leuven, Trinity College Dublin, Connecticut College, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and Northwestern University.  He has been an elected member of the Royal Irish Academy since March 2003 and has been involved in the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés de Philosophie, the highest non-governmental world organisation for philosophy, since the 1980s.  He is the Founding Editor of International Journal of Philosophical Studies, founded in 1993 and published by Routledge, and co-editor of Contributions To Phenomenology book series, published by Springer.  His monograph Introduction to Phenomenology was awarded the Edward Goodwin Ballard Prize in Phenomenology (2001) and was translated into Chinese.  A Turkish translation of the book is in preparation.  Moran has also been elected President of the Programme Committee for the 23rd World Congress of Philosophy which took place in Athens from 4–10 August 2013. <SEP> Manfred Frank (born March 22, 1945) is a German philosopher, emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of Tübingen.  His work focuses on German idealism, romanticism, and the concepts of subjectivity and self-consciousness.  His 950-page study of German romanticism, "Unendliche Annäherung", has been described as "the most comprehensive and thoroughgoing study of early German romanticism" and "surely one of the most important books from the post-War period on the history of German philosophy."  He has also written at length on analytic philosophy and recent French philosophy. <SEP>  Today, he is remembered for his posthumously published notebooks, which he himself called "Sudelbücher", a description modelled on the English bookkeeping term "scrapbooks", and for his discovery of the strange tree-like electrical discharge patterns now called Lichtenberg figures. Georg Christoph Lichtenberg (1 July 1742 – 24 February 1799) was a German scientist, satirist, and Anglophile.  As a scientist, he was the first to hold a professorship explicitly dedicated to experimental physics in Germany.
