Zeit der Zauberer. Das große Jahrzehnt der Philosophie 1919 – 1929

The years 1919 to 1929 mark an epoch of incomparable intellectual creativity, in which new thoughts were thought for the first time. Without these life and thought in our present day would not be the same. The great philosophers Ludwig Wittgenstein, Walter Benjamin, Ernst Cassirer and Martin Heidegger shaped this epoch and made the German language the language of the mind one last time before the catastrophe of the Second World War. Wolfram Eilenberger, author and long-time editor-in-chief of “Philosophie Magazin”, brings to life the philosophy of the 1920s and with it an entire decade oscillating between joie de vivre and economic crisis, post-war fatigue and the rise of the Nazi regime.
