The historian of ideas and publicist Wolfram Eilenberger (b. 1972), former editor-in-chief of the magazine Philosophie Magazin and program director of the largest philosophy festival in Europe phil.cologne, examines one of the greatest epochs of German-Austrian thought — the 1920s, in...
detail as if under a microscope, studying not only philosophical creativity but also the lives of four "magicians": Ernst Cassirer, Martin Heidegger, Walter Benjamin, and Ludwig Wittgenstein, whose fates are intricately interwoven with the tumultuous experiences of the post-war decade.
